I sure wish this was going to be a standing start. I'd love to see Oscar try to get the jump on Max.

That would just lead to a red flag which takes until it starts raining again and we wouldn't have gotten a race

Those spray reducing wheel arches can't come soon enough.

I thought the test they did with them didn't work? Didn't Williams do a test at Silverstone with them?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, the test was made and it did not work, so I guess it is back to the drawing board

It’s getting canceled, isn’t it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I hope they just wait it out instead of cancelling it

Issue doesn't seem to have been caused by him this time? They retired the car.

Edit: he said collision with Hamilton caused retirement. He was losing pace before that though, so that's on him.

Those weather changes really are something.

Does sprint race still determine the position of the race tomorrow?

The F1 commentators calling the switch to Inters a gamble lol

I'm wondering if Piastri would have had a better chance if he delayed the restart until the start/finish straight.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

probably not: Spa is always great for the overtaker due to the long straight into and after eau rouge. McLaren is also running very strong wings which hurts their performance on the straights (but helps during e.g. rainy qualifyings....).
Realistically, if there is any chance of overtaking at all, Verstappen can overtake just due to less drag on the straights.

Is there anywhere I can watch the race? I have Fubo and their DVR sucks and when schedules change it doesn’t change the recording time. I got an hour of college football and SportsCenter πŸ˜–
