I honestly don't get why people feel the need to post this kind of nonsense.

Saying "it's fine for me, but okay" is basically just whining. 🤣

And did you miss out on the whole “noooooo!!!!” part? 🤣

Personally, I thought it was pretty cute, but hey, maybe I'm just wired differently. 🤷

And don't even get me started on the visibility—you can barely see your own hand in front of your face out there.

The vehicle was still moving, even through the heavier downpour.

I’m really hoping that from now on, the second they see even a hint of rain, they just call the whole thing off and pull the plug immediately. Honestly, if keeping things running in wet conditions is such a massive headache, they should have just canceled everything yesterday...

Everyone’s out here walking around without an umbrella—even though it's absolutely pouring buckets out there

Not with these current machines. The cars that were tearing it up in similar weather back in the day—they were built differently. These modern ones are lightning fast when things are perfect—which is basically 90% of the race—but give them a little bit of rain and they just fall apart.

And people died.

If you had your way, we'd still be riding nothing but Bianchi bikes.

I'm pretty sure they built a built-in brake right into these new rigs too.

Look, you can just turn off your TV when you see clouds rolling in—that’s basically the same thing as the race not happening at all.

I guess Karen Horner should probably just let Checo Pérez back in 🙏 😁

Fine, keep trolling if you want. 👍
Just go apply for a mechanic job at one of the teams and try explaining 👍
that to them.

Are they actually gonna let Checo Pérez get behind the wheel?

Richard Walker38 said:And people died

If we actually listened to you, we’d probably be mourning Jules Bianchi too, wouldn't we?

Besides, they were running on a dry track—it's racing, after all. That's the game they chose to play.
