Red Bull boss Christian Horner talking about the recovery vehicle incident: "It's totally unacceptable. We lost Jules Bianchi here five, six years ago and that should never ever happen. There needs to be a full investigation as to why there was recovery vehicle on the track. Checo reported it to us. Extremely dangerous.
"The VSC was brought in for a reason. There just needs to be a full investigation as to why that vehicle was on the track.
"Without all the facts it's very hard to comment on why the vehicle was on the track, what the process is to enable the vehicle to go on the track.
"Visibility is just horrendous, even Max at the front was struggling to see so how anyone behind could see anything at all, it's a difficult one."

I have had a red flag for fog and rain, I have even had a red flag for snow at Silverstone, which was interesting.
I think this race would restart much sooner if it was a sports car race, rather than Formula 1.
Looking forward, to make sure this does not happen again, is there a way the teams can come up with a rain body spec solution so there is less spray coming off those rear tyres so we can get these kinds of races going?
That's what we need to look into.
Lap 3/53
Positive mental attitude is needed now. Will those passionate fans see anything remotely resembling racing today? The skies look... grey, to be honest. But it's not chucking it down, so that's something?!
