F1 Japanese Grand Prix - Verstappen named champion amid confusion

So we need two laps under green conditions and the points will be:

1st – 6 points 2nd – 4 points 3rd – 3 points 4th – 2 points 5th – 1 point

The wet tyres will be mandatory on the restart under the Safety Car.

We have just one hour remaining on the three-hour clock to get the race going.

"Let's get going... Give it a shot.

"We'll know immediately if it's driveable or not."

How can we make it clear that we never want to see a crane on track?

We lost Jules because of that mistake.

What happened today is totally unacceptable!!!!!

I hope this is the last time ever I see a crane on track!

"Totally unacceptable. We lost Jules Bianchi here.

"There needs to be a full investigation into why there was a recovery vehicle on track.

"Checo reported it to us.

"Allow the FIA to do full due diligence.

"Visibility is horrendous. Max, at the front, is struggling to see."

Wtf. How’s this happened!? We lost a life in this situation years ago. We risk our lives, especially in conditions like this. We wanna race. But this… Unacceptable.

The clock is now ticking.

There's 1hr 49 minutes for this race to happen.

It's not looking good at all at the moment.

Gasly fumes at 'unacceptable' tractor on track at Japanese GP

The medical car has taken to the track to assess the conditions.

It still looks too wet.

"The side of the car got hit.

"I don't understand why we went racing when we couldn't see 10 metres in front of us.

"I couldn't see where I was. I touched another car, which I couldn't see.

"It is really dangerous. People don't realise. The FIA need to discuss why the recovery vehicle was on circuit."

“I don’t know why in these conditions we risk having a tractor on track”.

"You are praying for those behind you.

"We are driving without visibility.

"I don't know if people understand - even behind a Safety Car we go at 100kph and we still see nothing.

"If someone hits a tractor, it's over."

"In relation to the recovery of the incident on Lap 3, the Safety Car had been deployed and the race neutralised. Car 10, which had collected damage and pitted behind the Safety Car, was then driving at high speed to catch up to the field.

"As conditions were deteriorating, the Red Flag was shown before Car 10 passed the location of the incident where it had been damaged the previous lap."

The rain still falls with a number of rivers and standing water on track.

FIA confirm there will be multiple laps behind the Safety Car.
