If you had your way, we’d probably be mourning Jules Bianchi too.
Take it easy, Henry. People have been making mistakes long before this. Don't go accusing someone of wishing death on others.

I suppose Christian Horner will just email over the diagrams now.🤣

It’d be a real shame to miss a race like this. Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the rain—absolute perfection. You really have to experience it, otherwise, you're just missing out.

I don't see why not—he could at least roll out from the pit lane like he did during the first race (where he skipped the formation lap too, basically).

I’m talking about today. Nobody is arguing that old cars were basically made of cardboard.
But because of the pressure, they ran Suzuka in a total monsoon with zero visibility, which left us without any drivers in modern Formula 1—and that is incredibly rare. Let's just run it again so some random Joe sitting at home can munch on chips and Coke while typing nonsense on the internet.

Even if he does start... he'll be starting a lap down anyway.

If you asked me, we’d probably have even more Bianchi drivers out there today if things had gone differently.
Honestly, Bianchi was gone, God rest his soul, because of a mistake he made himself.

It’s not exactly a cure-all, nor is it some kind of miracle solution.

Horner says they were out driving at 7 PM yesterday and everything seemed fine. There’s still a glimmer of hope 🎉

Martin Brundle suggested he’s handled plenty of races in much worse weather than this, implying that if you ask him, we should probably just get out there and drive. 😁

It’s not just the rain; visibility is the real killer here. It feels incredibly heavy and dark, almost like night is about to fall prematurely.

Look, they’re actually decent drivers, it’s just that for some of them, the cars are way too aggressive for wet conditions, plus there seems to be some kind of issue going on with the brakes.🤣
