Poll: Belgian Grand Prix 2021, Spa-Francorchamps - Race 12

[Flibster]

Verstappen pit radio - Ok Max, so Checo's hit the wall at turn 6. Looks like he could be out. So just nice and easy on the way to the grid please.

-----------

Russell radio - Visibility is very poor. Even when I was about 6 second behind the car ahead couldn't see down the straight.

----------

Hamilton radio - Locking rears a little bit into 18, Just there.

Pit - Copy that. Front and rear.

Hamilton - The rear grip is quite poor, feel like the fronts starting to behave, grip wise, but the rears are stuggling.

Hamilton - Is the rain just going to keep getting worse like this?

Pit - Yeah, I think it's going to be like this all afternoon. Haven't got more than that.

----------

Mazepin radio - Can you please note down that the mirrors are different. We will discuss after the race.

Pit - Noted.

This ain't happening. Hardly looks like it's about to clear up!

If when they start behind the safety car hopefully it doesn't stay out until inters but actually lets them get some wet laps in before the change over.

Can't RB work on Perez's car and start from the pit lane? As this might be delayed longer than 10 mins.

What was the reason for banning spare cars? Seeing the mechanics fix and prepare multiple cars after the notorious Spa GP many years ago was amazing to watch.

Air temperature - 13°C
Track temperature - 15°C

Risk of rain... 100%

Budget I think.

Just when you thought it couldn't get more boring than a safety car start, we get the delay on delay non start

On a related topic, how will Crofty spice up the last 10 laps commentary if he can't panic about whether it might rain?

Cost saving. You'd have double the number of parts which means producing double as well.

Everytime someone says delayed start, do a shot.

Anyone who is complaining about it being boring go and spend your time on YouTube looking for eau rouge crashes. That bit of track is spectacular but lethal far too often.

Plot spoiler....

It won't

Vettel pit radio - Out latest radar, is about an hour this rain will sit still

 

[Slam62]

Lewis said someone had dropped a bomb in the loo and it will haunt him for life.

 

[Kenai]

Bets on actually starting before 15.00?
