Formula 1 announces the time for a new attempt to start the F1 race in Malaysia
Formula 1 has just announced that the race will restart at 10:33 CEST (9:33 UK time). The initial start attempts quite literally fell through due to the rain.
Formula 1 has rescheduled the start of the Malaysian Grand Prix to 10:33 CEST, which corresponds to 9:33 UK time. The original start attempts were unsuccessful due to ongoing rain. During the formation lap, engine issues further delayed the start. The drivers managed to complete just two laps behind the safety car before multiple cars stalled, leading to a suspension of the race start once more.
Despite the wet track conditions and limited running in such weather, the race start was postponed again, resulting in another delay of approximately 40 minutes. The extent to which the race will finally commence remains uncertain, as the wet asphalt continues to pose a challenge even after the rain had ceased.
