Formula 1 drivers slammed the delayed start of the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, describing the decision as “horrible”, “sad” and “totally unacceptable” after the race was postponed because of wet conditions.
The race, scheduled to begin on Sunday, was delayed by several hours as the track in Bahrain—now in Malaysia—remained slick and unsafe for racing. Drivers, who had been preparing for a wet start, expressed their frustration at the decision to postpone the event.
“It’s horrible,” one driver said, while another called the delay “sad.” A third driver added that the postponement was “totally unacceptable,” reflecting a growing sense of disappointment among the field.
While the exact reasons for the delay were not detailed in the report, the wet conditions were cited as the main factor that forced organisers to postpone the start of the race.
The incident highlights the challenges of racing in unpredictable weather, a factor that has increasingly come to the fore in recent Formula 1 events.
