 "Formula 1 2022: Monaco Grand Prix start delayed due to rain")
Monte Carlo: Rain has played havoc with the start of Sunday’s Monaco Grand Prix, with teams scrambling to change tyres to cope with the drenched street circuit.
Officials announced the scheduled 1300GMT start was delayed with the formation lap setting off at 1316 behind a safety car.
But with pole sitter Charles Leclerc reporting on the team radio “it’s raining like crazy” race officials took the decision to suspend the lap with a red flag.
With Leclerc and the rest of the grid taking refuge from the deluge back in the pits officials will wait till conditions ease before a 10 minute warning to repeat the entire start procedure.
We have a red flag 🚩
