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

[Junglist]

I switched it to my phone screen/background noise about an hour ago while watching other stuff instead on the big screen.

I sat through all of Canada 2012( sure it was that year) but at least at that we had a bit of racing initially

 

[Mr Jack]

Must have seen dozens of safety car starts and the lap counter always started ticking after the formation lap, why today was different I dunno.....

The rules have been changed.

 

[Flibster]

Mercedes calling to the FIA to say they're frozen...

 

[bayo000]

I know they want to get it started if they can but surely by now the drivers are bored to death and their concentration will suffer, not what you want in conditions like this.

 

[chrismscotland]

Not sure I can listen to much more of Crofty to be honest; there was much better banter between Brundle and DC at the 2011 rain delayed Canada race!

Now let them show us the helmet cam footage from today

Sky aborting to show their Jordan 191 film again.

They could at least stick the F3 highlights on!

 

[cainer]

I think it's time to switch off...

 

[englishpremier]

They should have just stopped the clock when they red flagged it. As even if the weather cleared, we wouldn't get an actual hour of racing once safety car formation laps and other stuff is factored in.

 

[Flibster]

At least the 191 is a very pretty car.

 

[Stumble Bum]

This is still better than watching Monaco.

 

[JRS]

This is still better than watching Monaco.

It really isn't.

If it ain't bad enough that you've sat on a wet hillside for about 9 hours for nothing the state of the car parks getting out I imagine is going to be carnage!

It really is.

Does an 18:00 local start give them enough time for a race before sunset?

 

[Freakbro]

Interesting... If we do the 2 laps and 50% points, they will have served their penalty.

If the race is abandoned... I genuinely don't know. In theory the grid took place and they served their penalties there. But no race... Hmmm....

I'll send a tweet to SkyF1/Brundle/Crofty (done - added in Mercedes, Aston Martin and McLaren too)

Hi Steve

Yes. There is only 60 mins on the clock left. Sunset isn't until 20h something
