Gasly's car has a water leak so is out of the sprint, now it's a race to get it fixed for quali

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Sucks for Gasly as he had a good chance of being in the points.

 

[el_dazza]

Had a busy morning and got back in as the formation lap started, make it fun please chaps

 

[Mr Jack]

We'll. Both McLarens falling backwards

 

[iamtheoneneo]

Max what an overtake...

 

[el_dazza]

Slipstream was insane there but that red bull will struggle tomorrow if it's wet.

 

[Flibster]

The amount of smoke coming from all the cars through Blanchimont. I know they overfill the oil a little, but that amount from all of them...

Verstappen in first lap pass that didn’t upset anyone shocker!

That’s the rear of the plank rubbing along the track.

Plank is brown, this was white

What retired Colapinto?

Edit: looks like he’s back but I’m sure he went straight into the pits at the start

 

[el_dazza]

What retired Colapinto?

He's not retired has he?

Rear wing spec change required him to start from the pit lane.

Plank is basically fancy fibreglass, so anything abraded from it will look white/grey.

 

[Flibster]

So Ferrari's new suspension looks to be about normal for their mid-season upgrades.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Hamilton about to be passed by his old car (yeah, I know it really isn’t).

Yet more evidence Spa sucks without changeable or wet weather. Has there been an overtake bar Norris on Leclerc ?

Prove me wrong and kick off in the final laps
