With rain forecast on Sunday in Sao Paulo, how could the F1 starting grid be formed if more percipation leads to qualifying being cancelled?
Due to adverse weather conditions in Sao Paulo on Saturday, the F1 qualifying session was postponed until Sunday morning, shortly before the scheduled start of the grand prix. The forecasted rain could lead to further complications, possibly resulting in the cancellation of qualifying altogether. With no specific criteria in place for such situations, how the starting grid will be determined remains open for interpretation. One potential option is implementing the 2025 rule of using the championship order to establish the grid. However, this rule is not currently in effect, leaving room for debate and potential controversy among teams. The stewards have the authority to decide the grid formation in the absence of a qualifying session, highlighting the flexibility and subjectivity of the process.
