well ain’t that a kick in the head...

They missed the only possible window about an hour after scheduled time. Thy now have to deal with tomorrow’s weather, which doesn’t look any better, plus try to squeeze both Q and the race in with enough time in between for prep, pomp and circumstance.

They need to figure out how to race in the wet, taller wet tires with deeper, wider grooves to stop aquaplaning, and let the drivers figure out how to deal with the spray.

The FIA and Formula 1 have confirmed rescheduled timings for both qualifying and the Sao Paulo Grand Prix itself after Saturday's qualifying session was postponed due to poor weather conditions.
The session had been due to run at 1500 local time on Saturday afternoon at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace, but the start of Q1 was postponed when torrential rain – along with thunder and lightning – arrived, resulting in pools of water forming on the track.

With the session unable to take place on Saturday, it has now been confirmed that

qualifying will take place at the new time of 0730 local time, with the Sao Paulo Grand Prix itself brought forwards to 1230 local time.

An FIA and Formula 1 statement said: "Following the conditions in São Paulo today the decision was taken not to proceed with Qualifying due to poor visibility, standing water on the track and fading light.

"Safety is always the paramount consideration in such circumstances and while as much time as possible was given to allow conditions to improve they sadly did not. We have huge appreciation for all the fans that stayed at the circuit in hope of seeing cars on track today.

"Therefore the decision has been taken, after consultation with the stewards, to schedule Qualifying for 07:30 local time on Sunday morning ahead of the Grand Prix at 12:30 local.

This will ensure we maximise the chances or providing the fans with a day of racing action, given the ongoing weather forecast for tomorrow afternoon, and both the FIA and Formula 1 believe this time change is necessary and the right thing to do for all our passionate fans.
"We thank everyone for their patience today including the fans, drivers, teams, marshals, circuit staff and media and hope to give everyone an exciting event on Sunday."
