    If I was Sainz and Leclerc, I'd be too embarrassed to show up.

    I don't see why. They are both good drivers.

    It's obvious that the car lack of performance or the strategy is beyond their control.

    In fact, they do rather well in view of the circumstances.

    Youre right. Merc has been kicking them in the balls for the past ten years, and now a p6 car is beating the Screwdaria. Merc must be laughing hard . Ferrari who?

    Potential rain could be fun. Hope the FIA won't blow it with a delayed start or "race" behind the SC.

    When I see a forecast for rain, I get discouraged now because of what they do when it does rain. I used to get super excited.

    Couldn't agree more. Really sad. Still I'm hopeful it'll throw a monkey wrench of some sort into the proceedings. Rain is the great equalizer after all.

    True. It amaze me that the FIM is not afraid to let riders in MotoGP race under heavy rain, but every time there is sign of a shower near a F1 track, the FIA starts to panic.
    We have seen this year some MotoGP races held under torrential rain, but the same conditions would scare the F1 race directors.

    Good point. I often think the drivers are much more willing to go out there than the directors.

    Maybe they fear liability issues in case of accident , but the organisers of motorbike races must have the same choice to make.

    Media exposure is order of magnitude greater in F1, both real time and the potential news cycle.

    Winning in the rain is for guys like Gasly and Latifi. The only Ferrari victory I can cheer for is when they are the best.

    I still don't understand the FIA.
    They are so safety conscious for circuit racing whilst cautioning rallying where cars run at high speed in inhabited areas and often in the middle of packed crowds alongside the roads. There are many more casualties in rallying than on circuits.

    How many lawsuits?

    I can only think of one and it was in F1.

    and the media coverage is almost non-existent, and what there is has zero impact on public perception and thus there is no regulatory kickback.

    Last weekend, Rallye du Condroz in Belgium. A driver lost control and hit a group of onlookers: the crew in uninjured, but 2 deads, 6 injured among spectators. Would that happend in F1, it would be an outcry.
    This is quite current in rallying in Europe, and widely reported, both in the press and on TV too.
    Yet, there is not much urgency to improve safety in rallying. Double standards at work.
