To those moaning about a delayed start and perceived over-use of safety car in such conditions, remember what Vettel said at Silverstone: "No-one really has any trust in the extreme wets. The extreme wet is basically just good enough to follow the safety car."
We'll be getting this race under way a few minutes late. Race control have delayed the start by 10 minutes due to the wet weather.

Force India's Sergio Perez has been talking about the weather conditions. He tells Sky Sports: "Let's see how it evolves when we start running. At the moment there is a lot of standing water on the main straight, but I would go for a standing start."
Red Bull's Max Verstappen adds: "You could see it was very difficult and Grosjean is already out. There is a lot of water on the track, the most important thing is to stay alert. Safety car would be better for me. There is a lot of water."
Niki Lauda, non-executive chairman of Mercedes, says: "Standing start is better for me, that is the best thing."

Since being founded by Bruce McLaren (pictured) in 1966, the team have won eight constructors' championships and 12 drivers' championships.
A few more stats...
Force India use the same Silverstone-based factory once used by Jordan. Yeah, yeah. It's definitely a bit of a stretch but let them off.
Here's a diverting stat for you in a week dominated by goings-on Stateside.
After literally some research, the BBC F1 elves have discovered two small towns in America with (almost) the names of the two F1 title rivals.
Rosburg and Hamilton are towns in Washington state, approx 250 miles apart, both with populations of 300. Combined, that's 100 fewer than the 700 who work at Mercedes’ F1 factory.
Image source, GoogleMercedes Formula 1 boss Toto Wolff has denied claims he asked Max Verstappen's father to tell the Red Bull driver not to interfere in the title fight, writes Andrew Benson.
Wolff admitted to phoning the 19-year-old's father, Jos Verstappen, but said: "I didn't say to move out of the way, nor to race in any different way."
Verstappen starts Sunday's Brazilian GP fourth with Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg on the front row.
Wolff said the phone call was "a complete non-story".

Poor Grosjean. Hero to zero on an out lap. Too bad after such a fine job in qualifying. Plenty of damage to the Haas. We are taking bets on who the first driver will be to use the word 'undriveable' in relation to the conditions and demand a safety car.
Here's something you don't see very often these days.
Romain Grosjean, having done brilliantly yesterday to claim seventh on a starting grid, has just lost his Haas on the climb out of the final corner and collided with the wall on the outside of the circuit.
The Frenchman looks devastated as he gets out and well he might - the front-left suspension on that car is broken and he will not be starting this race.
An indication of just how wet it is - and surely a blow to those hoping to avoid a safety car start.

Image source, F1We like to present things in handy graphical form here at BBC Towers and with the below, er, graphic, we have done just that.
Here we have the number of individual world championships by nationality demonstrated with circles of increasing or decreasing size depending which way you come at it.
Britain's 16 titles are shared among 10 different drivers, while Germany's 11 titles belong to just two men: seven-time winner Michael Schumacher and four-time champion Sebastian Vettel.
Will Nico Rosberg drag the German nation up to a nice round 12 today?

Watch out for everyone wanting to get on intermediates as early as possible. The extreme wet is not a popular tyre.

Performance of the day in qualifying? Romain Grosjean in seventh for Haas is definitely a contender. But what about Fernando Alonso? He got McLaren into the top 10 on the grid for the first time since Malaysia four races ago, and destroyed team-mate Jenson Button, who was 0.576 seconds slower in first qualifying and failed to make it further while Alonso was so comfortable in making it through he only needed one run in Q1 - the first time that has happened since Honda joined the team in 2015.
The reason for the gap? The usual one when it’s that big - Button’s car had a nervous rear end, a handling characteristic with which he has never been comfortable, and which when his team-mate is a man whose pace seems to be pretty much completely independent of car behaviour simply exacerbates the margin between them. Now the race looks wet, both can be expected to play a reasonably large part in the race.
