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

[Kenai]

So, they can change Perez to a fully wet setup and he'll already have 3 laps more fuel than the other cars just through his not running behind the safety car.

Has there been any mention of this?

Hopefully the commentary team address the topic of setup changes and additional fuel or being 'a lap down'.

 

[Entai]

I didn't say they were. I am saying that Rally drivers compete in far worse conditions and are at a much higher risk of injury. Just ask Robert Kubica.

Again when do rally drivers ever all start at the same time, and follow each other so closely??

It's purely the spray caused, and the impossibility of following closely in such conditions, that has caused these delays.

What's with the stupid 3 hour rule. Is this just going to turn into one big farce with zero racing.... would be typical of how badly F1 is run.

It's already a massive farce, trouble is there's too much listening to health and safety bedwetters and drivers who are scared of driving in the wet and prefer to wait for dry. It just needs someone with a bit of backbone to tell everyone to get on with it.

Fancy driving at 180mph+ without knowing what's in front of you?

It's mainly to do with visibility, it will be 6pm local time and in weather like this it will be getting pretty dark in places especially here in SPA

Could have been the 2nd RB crash of the day before race start .

Did you watch live when Anthoine Hubert died, because I did and I never want to experience anything like that again. We've already had several huge accidents this weekend and somehow got away without serous injury thankfully.

 

[englishpremier]

Lol Sky asking Toto about Perez. Basically just starring up ****

Don't feed the troll. He would be out there beating them all in these conditions

Again when do F1 drivers race in snow and fly past trees and houses at 100mph? What's your point. Rally drivers race with the risk day in day out.

It just seems a bit wet for me. Excuse the pun.

Sure Lando and Seb wouldn't agree with you on that. Or Charles Leclerc. I'll trust their judgement over yours.

 

[Flibster]

Huh? Delayed starts remove a lap from the race?

 

[Psycho Ned]

Have to say F1 are making a horrible job of explaining the situation here.

Is the clock ticking? If so from when?

How many laps have we done? How many laps are we going to do?

 

[Kautya]

How many laps or race distance do they have to do if the race is reduced, to classify for a race result ?

 

[MooMoo444]

More intense rain on the way - doesn't seem like this is gonna happen.

36.12 c) i)

By the look of it

If the race has not been started, the abort lights will be switched on, a board saying
“DELAYED START” will be displayed, engines should be stopped and all Competitors
teams will be informed of the likely delay via using the official messaging system.
Once the start time is known at least five minutes warning will be given.
Tyre changing on the grid is not permitted during such a delay.
Every time this happens the race will be shortened by one lap.

Michael Masi confirms to Mercedes that the three-hour race time window started at 14:00 BST, so it would be a timed race, which finishes at 17:00 BST

Why would any driver want to risk spinning out and embarrassing themselves when they have the choice to wait for it to dry?

Lando and LeClerc are part of the problem as well, most Tesco workers probably have more experience driving in the wet due to their age and experience.

Monday race?
