Poll: Official 2023 Belgian Grand Prix Thread - Spa-Franchorchamps, Stavelot - Round 13

[.:MBK:.]

looks like a drain has given up

 

[Johnz0r]

Some water feature at Radillion.

 

[Psycho Ned]

What's the rules on a sprint race points wise, go round behind the safety car for 2 laps then give Max the points?

what time does it get dark

 

[Trusty]

It's very frustrating that these races get delayed and cancelled over what is a relatively small amount of water on the track.

 

[MCFC_ANDY]

FIA is a joke, these are the best drivers on the planet, its going to end up no wet running anymore

 

[Mr Jack]

what time does it get dark

It's practically the middle of summer, not for hours.

 

[Trusty]

start behind a safety car....ffs

 

[Johnz0r]

Long gone are the times of Spain 96.

 

[imtoooldforthis]

so lame

 

[Mr Jack]

"Palm Angels" still sounds like a specialist escort agency to me.

 

[dansew123]

Half the race will be behind the safety car won’t it

 

[imtoooldforthis]

I guess its to be expected with that young dutch lad dying here in very wet conditions less than a month ago

 

[MCFC_ANDY]

knowing FIA they will wait till track is 90% dry

 

[dansew123]

Yeah, it's frustrating for all involved. But waiting 30 minutes for really bad weather to pass and let the track drain off to have some safer racing is quite sensible.

16:35 Formation lap start

 

[Mr Jack]

Start time 17:35 local (er, 16:35 UK)

 

[imtoooldforthis]

[dansew123]
