  "summary": "Concerns regarding how Formula 1 handles wet races have existed since before the start of the season, leading to intense commentary leading up to the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos. While the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia faced rain and a software glitch, the track dried quickly; however, this was not the situation in Brazil.\n\nQualifying at Interlagos was red-flagged for 80 minutes when a downpour occurred at the start of the session. Following the delay, George Russell stated that while he enjoys driving in the rain at the circuit, he believed driving in those specific conditions during a race would have carried a very high risk of a horrific incident.\n\nThe general consensus among those in the paddock was that the FIA made appropriate decisions by immediately suspending Q1 during the downpour and working to identify a safe window to resume.",
