Max Verstappen is the eagerest beaver among a pit lane full of eager beavers.
He will be the first man out when the lights go green for the remaining 13 minutes and 31 seconds of this session.

Adam Heap: Everyone blaming the rain - personally I blame Romain Grosjean for this delay! XD
TrickyGerman: I'll be honest, this is the best live text I have ever read! Thanks to everyone. A little sad the quali is about to start again!
Matt Sherratt: in the time I've waited for qualifying I've baked 12 scones, a tray of flapjacks and made a wholegrain loaf

Just to say, the radio bods have been on a break for the last hour or so while there was nowt going on, but they will be back in time for the restart.

Well roast my raisins, if we haven't gone and got us a qualifying session about to start.

Places everyone.
Romain, you were in a barrier over there...

Yeah, good point. Fatigue setting in all round.

David Smith: Pathetic. Why not go the whole hog and introduce a halo-umbrella next year
Ely: I've left the circuit - cold & wet. Might catch the quali in the bar in Bergamo
Jonny: So help me, if I hear “more information in 15 minutes” one more time…
Yep, we hear you Jonny!

Sebastian v Thienen: We all should speak out against @fia and @F1 for killing the sport! Make F1 about racing and risk again, not political correctness!
Grummers: New F1 spectacle. Drivers to run around the track in full gear instead of using cars when it rains
Carole Benson: Remember Senna 1st lap in torrential rain, Donington GP, 1993. Anhilated Prost. Let them go Charlie.

I would pay good money to watch a man with a flannel attempt to dry an F1 track.

For those of you who don't speak Google-translate Italian, that's another 15-minute delay.
More at 15:30 BST.

Monza has turned to a river
Cars are starting to sliver
Why not use the moat
By racing in a boat
'Cause the driver can't deliver
Solid effort there from James French

Will S: Why keep the drivers waiting. Would be much easier to do it tomorrow or wait till much later today. We need good, enjoyable racing.
Just Mick: At this rate Haas will have had time to repair Grojean's car. Would he be allowed to run?
Simon Baker: Well, what does it say about #F1, external if they increase the downforce on the cars and still they can't drive in v wet conditions?

There is now a tractor driving in reverse at high speed down the pit straight.
I mean, it's entertaining in its way but it's not really what we all came for.
