Qualifying for the Japanese Grand Prix has been delayed by a further 30 minutes due to continued poor weather at the Suzuka circuit.
With the FIA having announced a 30-minute delay shortly before the 2 p.m. start, another similar postponement has been made.
With radar predictions suggesting further storms are on the way, qualifying could face even more delays into the late afternoon.
It is understood that if the session does not start by 4.30pm, the last point at which it can get finished before light conditions deteriorate, it will be postponed until Sunday morning.
