The start of the Eifel Grand Prix's opening practice session has been delayed by the adverse weather conditions surrounding the Nürburgring.
The rain and foggy conditions do not currently allow for the track's on-site medical helicopter to take off, a pre-requisite set by the FIA for an event to get underway.
Race control initially delayed the session by 30 minutes but at 11:30am local time there we no change to the conditions, which forced another 30-minute delay on teams and drivers.
An outright cancellation of FP1 would deal a big blow to Ferrari juniors Mick Schumacher and Callum Ilott who are scheduled to make their official F1 debut in the opening practice session, respectively with Alfa Romeo Racing and Haas.
