Thank you, my friend. We may disagree on certain elements of F1 but we both value family, our respective nation's and safety. God bless you and your family. Stay safe in all respects!!

Whelp, had they finished full race distance and stayed in starting positions, VER 25 and HAM 15. VER back in WDC lead by 2 points. As it stands, half points yielded VER 12.5 and HAM 7.5. HAM in the WDC lead by 3 points.

Stay tuned to see if this has a major follow-on effect.

Was hoping for a partial wet race but this isn’t what I had in mind. Fell back to sleep twice during this 3.5 hour nonsense. I knew there’s no way there’d be a race when they went out for the last time and saw the spray the cars were producing going that slow behind the safety car.

Should not be awarding points and a "win" for two laps behind a safety car. Race should have been abandoned with no effect on the championship(s).

Exactly . By the spray the visibililty at 150 km/h was 5 meters ..

Imagine the spray and visibility of the whole field at 300 km/h at Kemmel !

No doubt, they took the right decision

It is possible to have luck in one race and then none in another.



It's also why you need more than just the fastest car to win a WDC. There are many things that go into it, luck can play a small part in it also.

Well mate , I heard that Kimi was having a 5H1T before your Hammy went ..
The smell was caused by the Belgian high quality beers !

But I noticed on the grid : Hammy's 5H1T was an emergency situation as well !
