Re: 2021 Formula 1 Rolex Belgian Grand Prix
Anyone else think that Eau Rouge & Radillion days are numbered?
There's just been too much carnage there in recent years. If it was any other track they would have modified it already, especially after Hubert's death.

Yeah, they probably need to tighten it up to slow cars down.

Seb is a top bloke (since leaving RBR). Not sure many other drivers would have stopped to check if Lando was ok.

Re: 2021 Formula 1 Rolex Belgian Grand Prix
Looking at the geography, I wonder why they couldnt do this sort of thing, just to slow them down a bit. I bet it would still be fast. At least they would be braking slightly at the bottom of the hill.

They're moving the embankment back next year so hopefully that'll solve most of the problems.

Re: 2021 Formula 1 Rolex Belgian Grand Prix
What a spicey grid for the race.
Was very surprised they started Q3 & feel so bad for Lando. Although he was quick to acknowledge it was more his fault than the conditions.
Fantastic for George & Williams, hope he sends it tomorrow as he has nothing to loose compared to those around him.

This sums it up.
I may have misheard it, but did Hamilton say it is no ones fault, but refund the fans? LOL

Re: 2021 Formula 1 Rolex Belgian Grand Prix
Yeah Hamilton was going on about it all being about the money and satisfying sponsors etc but that they should give the fans their money back.
“Well firstly, I feel really sorry for the fans today,” Hamilton says.
“Obviously, it’s no one’s fault with this weather but the fans have been incredible today, just to stick with us this whole time and hold out for a potential race.”
Hamilton says he believes race control sent the drivers back out to complete laps under safety car purely to satisfy the minimum requirement for the race to count under contractual obligations.
“Money talks,” said Hamilton. “And it was literally the two laps to start the race – it’s all a money scenario. So everyone gets their money.
“I think the fans should get theirs back too because, unfortunately, they didn’t get to see what they came and paid for.”

Re: 2021 Formula 1 Rolex Belgian Grand Prix
When Mazepin's name popped up as fastest lap I'm surprised Merc and Red Bull didn't think about how they could beat that. Surely dropping back from the SC and going slowly over the s/f line then catching back up again by the end of the lap would get you a couple of tenths faster than anyone else whilst still being legal.
