Rain delays start of Styrian GP qualifying

Qualifying, if it happens, is going to be a real slog

The rain is getting heavier by the moment at the Red Bull Ring.

The Safety Car went on track for an exploratory lap and has reported back and the news isn't too good. Q1 is delayed, with the teams being given a five minute warning before it will begin.

"The circuit has deteriorated quite a lot, so the delay was inevitable. It doesn't look like there are lots of gaps in [the cloud] so we could be here a while, said Christian Horner, Red Bull Team Principal
