The spray and visibility is even worse ! Crazy !!!

So if Max wins and it's cut short he's stuffed by F@IA again.

Crimson92 · 08-29-2021, 12:26 PM

Well I'm going back to bed.

M5Rick · 08-29-2021, 12:27 PM

Race stopped WTF now.

Once again : RED FLAG !

MKSixer · 08-29-2021, 12:28 PM

They should have raced from the beginning. Fuji 2007 was far worse than this.

Doesn't make sense .The today's F1 cars are 15-20% faster ...

M5Rick · 08-29-2021, 12:37 PM

Scrap the race!

I believe I have shared my sheer hatred for rain, I shall add this event to the list of reason why. I don’t care if you prefer wet races, I do not.

Chappers 71 · 08-29-2021, 12:44 PM

Well, on the bright side George is going to get his first podium

They aren't my friend.

Pole in 2007 was not much slower than the pole in 2020 and certainly not by 15 or 20 seconds...that is about what 15% to 20% would look like. Even though the lap is a bit different, it isn't worth that amount of time.

I'm waiting for a CAT4 or CAT5 hurricane to make landfall and now this. I HATE the rain. Hate it.

Crimson92 · 08-29-2021, 12:47 PM

I'm sure that's not how GR wanted his first podium, but a win is a win.

Yeah . And give the drivers the points in order of the QF .

While I just saw Toto calling the FIA . Don't do it ...
This would be too negative for Hammy !

By the exceptional situation MAX is 3 points down vs HAM in the WDC ranking !

MKSixer · 08-29-2021, 12:48 PM

Cheap win for RBR. Mercedes maintains lead in WCC and Lewis in WDC. On to the next one.

Most boring Spa Francorchamps F1 race ever....

After the summerstop I was so eager to see an exciting race....

Oh well, next week.....
A track that hasnt had a F1 race for 31 years

Crimson92 · 08-29-2021, 12:51 PM

Stay safe friend. Terrible, just terrible.

A podium's a podium! Mr. Saturday's work paid off.

minn19 · 08-29-2021, 01:02 PM

I know rules are rules but I can’t believe they award points for this. Can you imagine if this was the last race of the year and HAM won the WDC by three points this way. That thread would be epic!
