F1 2021: Belgian GP - Spa-Francorchamps (Aug 29)

NickyC · 08-28-2021, 09:25 PM

Great qualy by Max but I really wanted to see Russell get it. Oh well.

ER is not long for this world if this keeps up. The omnipotent nanny state which promises everyone is going to live forever if you just do what they tell you is going to nuke that corner in a big way soon. They'll probably half ass it too and put a bus stop chicane x2 right at the base of the hill hah.

Turn 1 chaos expected, Max vs two Merc drivers. Russels final hurdle to the Merc seat is a well executed pit maneuver in T1. Danny R day dreaming of being the Ocon of Spa.

This is last time a back marker qualified in the top three in the wet, he was then promoted to Mercedes. Canada 2013.

If I look at the rain radar predictions, it'll be raining at Spa Francorchamps non stop from about 14.00h to 22.00h (0-2mm/h), with major rain between 16.00h and 17.00h (2-5mm/h).
Apparently at the moment it's dry.

I hope it'll be a crash free race.

Yeah that was Coulthard that caused that, gave it too much wellie to recompense after poor start and lost it.

First he tried it on the left side , there was no room at all...Then he overtook with his right front wheel over the grass !
In these rainy conditions he should get at least one race ban !

I agree the guys a total nutcase doing that.

Circuit constructions are planned on top of Raidillon on the left side .
The Run-off area is planned with probably a large gravel trap ...
