Absolutely agree with that, the run off area now is short of where it should be.

Checo, my man... feel for him. There wasn't a whole lot of error there. Conditions are brutal.

M5Rick · 08-29-2021, 08:17 AM

...and even a further delay now.

RB are working on Checo's car but it's unlikely to be finished by race start.

Checo was very careful there ,too bad but he lost it anyway !

''Start procedure suspended''

Good call to not start. I love that F1 races in the rain but this is nuts.

Max saying it isn’t that bad just adds to his me me me reputation.

View from his car looked ok!

M5Rick · 08-29-2021, 08:35 AM

Come on finish Checo's car RB guys!

Blindside_137 · 08-29-2021, 08:36 AM

Could the race be cancelled? Or would it be rescheduled to tomorrow?

No kidding, even though he was complaining he couldn’t follow the safety car within regs but it’s not that bad.

It's going to get dark soon so maybe yeah have it tomorrow.

Would Perez be allowed to race if they get his car fixed?

A longer wait won't help the situation as more rain is expected ...

The rain clouds hang firmly in the Francorchamps valley between the forests .
My rain radar just showed more heavy rain !

When I drive through the Belgian Ardennes I can look over the huge valley from Stavelot to Francorchamps ...
The Valley is 17 km large . On top the view is breathtaking !
Next time I'll take some pictures from the valley and I'll post them on here ..

M5Rick · 08-29-2021, 09:05 AM

Masi is looking in his rule book as concerns Checo car. Not MIB so will try not to let him start today.

Blindside_137 · 08-29-2021, 09:15 AM

Sounds like checo is good to race if his car is fixed

I've driven through the Ardennes but in the CLK cab, four up and boot full to the brim and those roads are the bees knees and couldn't 'flat out' it.

From the pit lane (so says Merc supporting Masi) so hoping it's a Monday start.

tdott · 08-29-2021, 09:29 AM

If Perez starts (from the pit lane). It sounds like he will also be 1 lap down since he didn't complete the 1 lap under the safety car that everyone else has.
