    It’s easy to forget between all the times of praying for interesting weather that there is very much such a thing as too much rain.

    Absolutely massive hit for Albon shiieeet. Glad he’s ok.

    Williams cars have taken so much damage this year… It just doesn’t end.

    Aston Martin mechanics got a tough job ahead of themselves. Both drivers had hard hits against the barriers.

    I’m wondering if we get some further starting grid complications with all these crashes so close to the race. There could be some tricky repairs and possibly either a quota penalty or just not enough time for the mechanics.

    Holy shit Verstappen’s on 12th. With the grid penalty he will start 17th.

    McLaren has mad plot armor this weekend.

    Omg Norris, made it by the skin of his teeth.

    Surprised to see Hamilton go out in Q1. Experienced drivers are usually expected to do better in wet conditions.

    Tragic result for Haas cars after recent good performances.

    Probably the best opportunity the Sauber cars have to get a good qualifying position. Unfortunate to see Zhou go out.

    Absolute carnage of a session. I was on edge seeing Norris at risk in Q1, then Q2 was looking ropey with the first red flag. What a turnaround. Going to be a spicy race now.

    Now albon. Way way too many red flags in conditions that are challenging but not terrible. What is going on?

    This is what happens when you have to stop the racing because of the spray every time it rains. Drivers are losing their ability to drive safely in the rain because they do it so rarely

      I’m expecting the race start to be equally dramatic. Although if there’s fewer cars able to make their grid slots because of these quali crashes, we might get through the first lap without a red.

      Edit - Russel on the front row. Definitely going to be dramatic.

      Now albon. Way way too many red flags in conditions that are challenging but not terrible. What is going on?

      Drivers have been complaining about the new tarmac all weekend, probably making grip in the wet even worse and more unpredictable than usual.
