Apologies in advance that the post-race topic will come before the race ends. I should have known with Spa to add a couple of hours in the schedule -__-

in the word of Hamilton: unacceptable
/s
Critical info in case you missed it.
The Beekeeper? The Jason Statham one that I still haven't heard a single thing about? Weird choice for the F1 marketing department to assign that ๐
Well I miss the snapshot of Leclerc favorite pre race meal being pasta with oil and Parmesanโฆ totally ground breaking too. Thanks god the rain stopped
Aston Martin ahead in the race
what a race by Hamilton in 15 laps he is #7. well done.
Everything's aligned for him so far. Good payoff for the wet setup, perfect timing on reading the crossover and good driving from him too of course.
Calm and solid race by Piastri. Few fumbles by Norris including the start, but good perf by Mcclaren. Good race for the juniors (no DNF). Good perf by Ferrari with podium for Leclerc and come back from Hamilton to 7th from 18th.
Memory lane for Hamilton & Rosberg.
Letโs go. Rain time ๐ง๏ธ
Spa 2021 flashbacks intensifies
yeah.
Drivers are allowed to exceed 10 car lengths distance to the next car behind the safety car as long as they stay below 20 car lengths.
"30 car lengths shalt thou not be apart, neither be thou apart 5, excepting that thou then proceed to be apart 10. 50 car lengths is right out."
Well... let's see whether that intensity is raceable. If not, they won't start they race for a while, since there is more of this rain coming after that from W-NW.
Edit: This is exciting. No sign of delaying the start. Rain will wind down a bit after the start, before picking up again. And maybe even with a short heavy downpour too. The drivers really have to prove themselves.

FIA anticipate the rain to stop at 4pm local time.
Targeting a start "as soon as the standing water has been cleared from the track". #F1 #BelgianGP
Hamilton flying with that wet setup, has to be wishing they green flagged earlier.
yeah I love when he got that type of mojo.
Rain in Spa. My body is ready.
We might get a couple laps towards the end of the 3 hour race window, but it's never going to be a full race today. Sad times.
Edit: crofty and brundle just said in commentary that the 3 hours hasn't actually started because the race never started. I'm more optimistic with this information.
They should have just had the standing start and kept on driving.
and Piastri take the lead
Race resuming in 13 minutes!
Accuweather radar shows the clouds breaking up soon
Rain and F1 :(
Curious if the medium will actually last 14 more laps or not.
I hope not so we can have some surprise
Good to see Antonelli making some moves, the kid could use a confidence boost.
25%
Red Bull yesterday really was like "we'll optimize the car for a rain race although we know that rain races never fully get underway in Spa nowadays"
Lap one Lando moment....
He's being out classed by Oscar this year.
yeah total fumble
what a race by Aston Martin after 4 laps
Let's goooo
Let's go #2
Was hoping for rain for an interesting race but it looks like the monkey's paw clenched too hard.
Is that only my broadcast, or did the F1 intro just have a different music/score than usual?
On sky they had a different intro. It didn't sound like a cover of the theme either.
no video on Russel and Verstappen ... is there a broadcaster blackout ;)
