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

[Psycho Ned]

Soaking conditions for the F3 race, gonna be a wet race unless a hell of a lot of drying happens in the next few hours!

Surprised they didn't take a new engine and start from pitlane. Would be another engine in his pool and you avoid any turn one carnage

It's not an easy track to overtake on, even in the wet. Hopefully the 2022 rules can go someway to help classic tracks become classics again.

Still, if Norris can be as quick as yesterday, then he ought to be able make easy pickings of the likes of the Haas and Alfas, so maybe he should have.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Booing any sports person is just dumb and disrespectful and shows how immature the person or person's are, there should be no room for it in this day and age.

Agreed

 

[Psycho Ned]

Weather looks absolutely grotty, this could be a classic or a safety car fest with loads of delays.

That is the opposite of what was said in every session. They were talking about Max and a possible engine change and about the high vs low downforce setups.

 

[Flibster]

Well that looks a touch moist. Welcome to Spa!

This is like 1998 level bad weather, rain and utter gloom. Can't see us getting much green flag racing with how it is currently.

Surely going to be a safety car start given the rules these days; I don't think I've seen a track that wet in a long time

 

[Psycho Ned]

Perez has chucked it in the wall!

At least the Porsche's in this morning's supercup race had headlights fitted to their cars. Could do with bolting some Cibie's onto the front of these F1 cars.

 

[UTmaniac]

Perez in the wall on lap to grid! Way too much kerb lead to losing traction.

Another Red Bull on-grid repair special, or game over?

 

[adam cool dude]

Lol Horner season is beginning to collapse.

 

[Super Tigers]

Double waved yellows on course and we haven't even got to the grid yet.

 

[Kautya]

Yeap, thats a shame. Not what RB would want today. Given Bottas has a penalty, they could have jumped merc in both drivers and world championship.

 

[Journey]

Another Red Bull on-grid repair special, or game over?

How are they going to lay blame on Mercedes for this incident?

They made the kerbs too slippery .

Bernd Mayländer expecting a safety car start (interview on Sky Germany)

 

[CSMonkeh]

If this is safety car start, if it does start, Russell may have more of an advantage than a standing start
Less downforce for Red Bull biting them in the rear? (Or not….)

Bernd Mayländer expecting a safety car start (interview on Sky Germany)

Yeap Paul expects the same. As Massi is apparently worried there is going to be too much spray and zero visibility.
