Apologies in advance that the post-race topic will come before the race ends. I should have known with Spa to add a couple of hours in the schedule -__-
in the word of Hamilton: unacceptable
/s
Critical info in case you missed it.
The Beekeeper? The Jason Statham one that I still haven’t heard a single thing about? Weird choice for the F1 marketing department to assign that 😂
Well I miss the snapshot of Leclerc favorite pre race meal being pasta with oil and Parmesan… totally ground breaking too. Thanks god the rain stopped
Let’s go. Rain time 🌧️
Spa 2021 flashbacks intensifies
yeah.
Aston Martin ahead in the race
Red flag
Meanwhile cars have inters bolted on. So just put on the fucking wets and go racing and let the drivers use their fucking judgements. It’s not fucking rocket appliances.
It’s a visibility issue, full wets would only exacerbate the problem… I agree with the frustration but I must admit it makes sense
I don’t think the full wets would make things worse even, it’s these fucking ground effect regs diffusers that cause all the spray. Which would be acceptable if we still had good racing in the dry, but the FIA have given up on that too and just let the teams bring back dirty air anyway.
what a race by Hamilton in 15 laps he is #7. well done.
Everything’s aligned for him so far. Good payoff for the wet setup, perfect timing on reading the crossover and good driving from him too of course.
yeah will be interesting if it can be on the podium.
I think there is close to 0 chance he gets a podium, but it’s still been a solid recovery drive.
yeah pity
Memory lane for Hamilton & Rosberg.
Calm and solid race by Piastri. Few fumbles by Norris including the start, but good perf by Mcclaren. Good race for the juniors (no DNF). Good perf by Ferrari with podium for Leclerc and come back from Hamilton to 7th from 18th.
Drivers are allowed to exceed 10 car lengths distance to the next car behind the safety car as long as they stay below 20 car lengths.
“30 car lengths shalt thou not be apart, neither be thou apart 5, excepting that thou then proceed to be apart 10. 50 car lengths is right out.”
Well… let’s see whether that intensity is raceable. If not, they won’t start they race for a while, since there is more of this rain coming after that from W-NW.
Edit: This is exciting. No sign of delaying the start. Rain will wind down a bit after the start, before picking up again. And maybe even with a short heavy downpour too. The drivers really have to prove themselves.

FIA anticipate the rain to stop at 4pm local time.
Targeting a start “as soon as the standing water has been cleared from the track”. #F1 #BelgianGP
Rain in Spa. My body is ready.
Today’s race: the weather report.
My god, when they start with driver’s food and driver’s prerace routine you know the broadcasters are pushing their limits.
We might get a couple laps towards the end of the 3 hour race window, but it’s never going to be a full race today. Sad times.
Edit: crofty and brundle just said in commentary that the 3 hours hasn’t actually started because the race never started. I’m more optimistic with this information.
Hamilton flying with that wet setup, has to be wishing they green flagged earlier.
yeah I love when he got that type of mojo.
