what is concerning for me is that the focus seems to be on honoring ticket holders first and driver safety second.
that is just the feeling I get from the statement

Not the first time something like this has happened - Baku, iirc?

Sh*tty street circuits and their unnecessary problems.
The drain damaged Ocon's car as well. The damage is extensive enough to warrant both cars being written off, forcing a chassis change for both teams. Vasseur isn't impressed.

Nah, they're simply communicating to the public. I'm sure that in private there's plenty of communication happening.

Is there coverage on Supersport? On the F1 App, it's just this screen

Yup. You'd think they'd (at least by now) understand things such as this need to be checked, checked again and checked again.

Willing to risk driver safety on crappy makeshift tracks like this because "spectacle". But Kyalami can't get a race...

Supposedly fans left due to FIA and Vegas promoters not telling them what is going on.

Yip and Monaco twice. It's one of the dangers of street circuits but even Malaysia had quite a spectacular one too.

It's pretty crazy, they want most of Kyalami's gravel replaced with tarmac but big money tracks with zero runoff are perfectly fine. Figures.

Probably doing what they should've done weeks ago. I'd imagine if they have any similar event happen when they resume they won't be able to recover the weekend.

Our problem is the drains, potholes etc on the way to the track

This is on my stream ATM
Ferrari team boss taking no prisoners during the team principals interview. Very cringe but well deserved as the interviewer is trying to brush the FP1 incident aside by asking him about the spectacle that is Vegas while Ferrari are worried about their car.
. Awkward start to this interview. More entertaining than team radios

My gut is that today is done. There won't be any cars on track - they can't risk it considering what needs to be checked and signed off and they have to reopen the roads... If it doesn't resume that'll be another nail in the coffin of the FIA.Supposedly fans left due to FIA and Vegas promoters not telling them what is going on.

Max 4 hrs. Roads scheduled to reopen at 4am apparently. So probably another hour or so before they're forced to call it quits.
