FORMULA 1 MOรT & CHANDON BELGIAN GRAND PRIX 2025
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
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.
yeah will be interesting if it can be on the podium.
I think there is close to 0 chance he gets a podium, but it's still been a solid recovery drive.
yeah pity
Aston Martin ahead in the race
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.
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."
Hamilton flying with that wet setup, has to be wishing they green flagged earlier.
yeah I love when he got that type of mojo.

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
They should have just had the standing start and kept on driving.
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.
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.
yeah I cannot imagine at 18years old this type of pressure
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"
Not just in Spa to be fair.
We already had rainy races this year. But at a track like Spa, visibility problems make that simply not possible to safely have a race happen.
There is being cautious, and then there is whatever the fuck this was. Even the drivers weren't happy about, for example Max post race: https://dubz.co/c/e3cfcd
So far I have only seen Max and Red Bull complain. Which makes sense because they set up their car for a wet race.
The more relevant question is the thoughts of drivers who drove in the mid-field or end of the field. Because those are the ones who would be in danger, not Max Verstappen in P4.
and Piastri take the lead
what a race by Aston Martin after 4 laps
Let's goooo
Race resuming in 13 minutes!
Accuweather radar shows the clouds breaking up soon
no video on Russel and Verstappen ... is there a broadcaster blackout ;)
Lap one Lando moment....
He's being out classed by Oscar this year.
yeah total fumble
Let's go #2
Was hoping for rain for an interesting race but it looks like the monkey's paw clenched too hard.
Go Lando.
Hamilton complaining he's lift-and-coasting and still not saving enough, looks like they could have gambled on underfueling as well?
