Poll: Belgian Grand Prix 2019, Spa-Francorchamps - Race 13/21

Good result for Albon on his Red Bull debut.

Yet another race where Leclerk has made Vettel look slow and overrated, Ferrari always seem to put Vettel on a different strategy to hide the fact though.

 

[GravyMonster]

Think Ferrari will easily win next weekend and that will be it for there season.

Agreed. They only just scraped this win, and that was by ruining Vettel's strategy with an early pitstop and keeping him out on ruined tyres to hold up Hamilton. Given how far ahead they were in qualifying it doesn't bode well.

Great results for Leclerc and Albon, but I'm gutted for Norris.

 

[Finners]

Has Hamilton said why he inst wearing a black armband for Hubert?

 

[Mr Jack]

What happened to Norris?

Mechanical failure, probably engine. He coasted to a halt.

That's disappointing. Was looking so promising.

 

[MM-Seat]

Worrying signs for Vettel though. He seems to have dropped off so much this past year.

 

[Mr Jack]

That's disappointing. Was looking so promising.

Yeah, I'm gutted for him. One lap to go and that happens. Would have been his best ever finish.

Likely his best chance at 5th or better for the rest of the year.

Sainz has picked up a few, so Norris should get another shot, I think.

Gutted, such a great race for him too

Looked like the engine went in to anti-stall from what I saw in the in-car feed?

 

[Yaayuh!]

Gutted for Norris. Glad LeClerc finally got a win.
Lol Haas.

Ah the Monegasque National anthem for the first time!
Cracking drives from the young guns once more.

Also goes to show you may have too much power if you’re chewing up the tyres.
Almost reminds me of early Mercedes where that has so much power they kept chewing up rear tyres like Canada in Hamilton’s first year with them

That’s got to hurt as he drove a perfect race.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Yup, gotta feel for him, but like he said, on such a weekend you can’t really complain. So glad he got driver of the day.

They don't have enough downforce. The Mercedes and Red Bull are great on tyres cause they have high downforce pushing the tyres into the tarmac.

Enjoyable race. Hamilton/Merc yet again showing greater race pace by quite some margin towards the end.

Not sure if it has been mentioned already, but why are the cars slower here than last year? 1:41.5 last year vs 1:42.5 this year?

 

[an0nym0us]

Did Norris retire due to the same problem as Sainz?
