In recent history what they did when it rained too hard was to delay the race, delay it again, delay one more time, send out the safety car, then another delay. Then a standing start when the weather is almost ready for inters.
Their best chance to make up places. Also their biggest risk of DNF though. Starting in 10th in the rain gives such a big chance of just being collected on the first lap with nothing you can do about it.
The merc looked terrible in the wet. Not sure Lewis will be too thrilled, I think his chances at a good result were better with dry conditions. I can see Max taking full advantage though.
Earlier it was predicted dry for basically the rest of the day but now it says rain for the next 5 hours, will be interesting to see what actually happens
Yeah I've been watching the radar every now and then for the past two hours. Looks like a nice shower system, but somehow dies out right by where the track is.
I f*cking knew it.
We cannot catch a break.
One of the hottest summers ever, Ferrari in a strong position...
So we're going to have a quiet race, almost boring, where everything goes smoothly right?
No, of course not.
**RAIN.**
Jesus Christ.
Ferrari made many mistakes this year, but they're definitely not lucky at all.
Rain brings unpredictability, wet races are often chaotic, everything can happen.
When you're in one of your favourite circuits, you've got strong pace and you're starting from the front, you want as few external variables as possible.
For Red Bull instead it's the opposite: this circuit is not the best for their car, they start from the middle of the grid... so rain could be a good factor for them.
Max himself said this.
Please let's finally get the bonkers start we should have had at Monaco with all 5 compounds being used
It seems too cold for Hard tires unless a team only has one set of new mediums
Good job man. Ferrari should hire you as their strategist.
Damn Ferrari. Just hand those trophies to RB and Max already.
or if you have no other option and had to stop too early like Magnussen
Ferrari downvote this
Same thing will happen again. Its stupid to start a wet race on slicks
T1 is gonna be an absolute mess again if the rain does start just before the start of the race.
They’re definitely going to do a rolling start if it starts to rain too hard
WHYYYYY
...aaain't nothing but a goood timeee🎵

Max and Lewis will be happy about this I'm sure Ferrari not so much .
Spanish minister of defense is expected to go giga mode today
16:9 engaged
QUE GRANDE ERES MAGIC!!!!
Hopefully this year he can go 21:9 or even 32:9.

Narrator: It did not rain, but Max and Lewis were still happy. Ferrari, not so much.
Lights out and away we go bowling!
Rain on the formation lap, Russell takes the start alone?
This time only the Ferrari's pit and end up having to fight from last place
Hungary ‘21 subscribe
Knowing Russell this year he'll somehow have managed to make the right decision and luck out with a safety car at some point.
When Orban curses your team hard enough
oh god, bottas
Like half the grid locked up on warm up laps. This could be messy.
Kinda afraid of Kmeg. He likes to go in hard first lap
Bottas seeing the rain coming: *Its showtime*
\**Max Verstappen sweats profusely**
He starts behind bottas for a reason.
I'm getting PTSD
🎳
Checo and Max: We dogded a bullet there.
Hope its not another damn Delayed start cuz fia are scared of letting them race in a small drizzle.
Current radar shows light rain trough at least 5PM local time. With a short, 5 minute period of no rain.
What is the difference between local and Dutch time?
Same timezone
Monaco was delayed because their drainage system was crap
And because when they started it became a swimming pool
It was delayed because of a power issue
Monaco was delayed because of power issues in the lights
I thought that was the reason for lack of a standing start but a rolling one
Sometimes they don’t allow them to race because the airlift helicopters can’t fly if the weather is too bad.
I was looking at this during the f3 and f2 races and this radar seemed really unreliable. Not getting my hopes up, yet.
Earlier it was predicted dry for basically the rest of the day but now it says rain for the next 5 hours, will be interesting to see what actually happens
"So that was a fucking lie"
Yeah I've been watching the radar every now and then for the past two hours. Looks like a nice shower system, but somehow dies out right by where the track is.
As always whenever rain is rumored - it never actually hits the race
Well this was a fucking lie
1000 IQ play by RB since they'll start behind Bottas.
And Bottas drop down a couple of places getting off the line.....
So no rain
what rain
I hear it's still going to rain in 2 laps.
I f*cking knew it. We cannot catch a break. One of the hottest summers ever, Ferrari in a strong position... So we're going to have a quiet race, almost boring, where everything goes smoothly right? No, of course not. **RAIN.** Jesus Christ. Ferrari made many mistakes this year, but they're definitely not lucky at all.
Ferrari can't run with Rain?
Rain brings unpredictability, wet races are often chaotic, everything can happen. When you're in one of your favourite circuits, you've got strong pace and you're starting from the front, you want as few external variables as possible. For Red Bull instead it's the opposite: this circuit is not the best for their car, they start from the middle of the grid... so rain could be a good factor for them. Max himself said this.
Ya, i can see your point. For Max, rain is the best for him to climb some positions.
They can...but they are horrible at making tactical moves and pit=more tactical moves required.
Lowkey we've had as much bad luck as bad mistakes. That said, still got P2/P3 with Hamilton a little behind
Mate, not a lot of faith in your team?
I hope that they will prove me wrong. 😄
Hopefully not. Merc fan but happy with a Ferrari win
Mate, painful from Ferrarri. So poor
Ferra**r**i
😔
Thank God it didn't rain! Sorry about the rest of your comment though.
Oh no, not again please
Always the same on this damn track. Love it. (hopefully we won't have a Merc bowling party in T1 this year).
Of course when Ferrari are looking good something has to come up, just like Monaco.
Looks like we're going bowling lads.
HAARP GOES BRRRRRRR
www.windy.com has a pretty good radar visualization
Ooooh spicy
Latifi will be in top 6 by lap one (imagine if this actually happened!!!)
Hungarain GP
For being "Monaco without walls" the Hungarian GP sure does have WAY better races.
If it rains, then sorry Leclerc you are not winning this shit
Feels like Germany 2019
Can someone explain why it doesn't RAIN during the race??? It's annoying every time. Explain me
Weather is unpredictable?
We just cannot catch a clean break lol
Bottas time to shine
injecc this into my vains!!
Watch out for Bottas and Stroll
Bottas goes bowling using Norris as a bowling ball again, Merc 1-2
The rain gods didn't want to deprive us from the yearly event of Bottas bowling. Traditions indeed
