Formula 1: The classification of the Brazilian GP was stopped by rain and there are concerns about the lack of visibility

The classification of the Brazilian Formula 1 Grand Prix began under adverse weather conditions. Franco Colapinto came out on track to compete in Q1, but the race management decided to stop the session with a red flag due to the intensification of the rain

The interruption occurred when there were still 15 minutes and 37 seconds left to complete the first batch. Since then, all the cars have remained in the pits and the drivers abandoned their vehicles while the teams waited

Rain and lack of light complicate visibility

Rainfall reached a high intensity on the InterLagos circuit and, according to the forecasts mentioned during the broadcast, could last for at least another 30 minutes

to the difficulties caused by the water accumulated on the asphalt, another factor was added: the loss of natural light. Although several reflectors were turned on, dark clouds and rain reduced visibility considerably
