It’s unbelievable how the FIA will always check every single detail regarding Hamilton and they’ll try their best to find something wrong!

He wasn’t even off the white line! He was touching it! I can tell a ton of examples of certain drivers touching a white line and getting away with it on the grounds of “oh he’s on the edge of the rules…not over them”

The cold front is coming, expecting light-moderate rain around race. This could be a chaos.

not that they are likely to need them, but these are the dry tyres left for the race:

Isola suggests a S-M-M strategy may make most sense.

I'm surprised ALB-SAI, OCO-BEA, and BOR-HUL are that even.

If it’s heavy rain, then no chance. It’s Spa at the end of the day. They are always ultra cautious here, and rightly so. Will be laps and laps behind the SC.

that's not what I see at all. Maybe they'll need to postpone it by half an hour or so, but during the race window, most forecasts show 1mm/h rain at most.

It's exactly the opposite.

Watching the F2 race right now!

It’s ok…not much water. Just wet surface and some really wet patches here and there. I hope it stays like that for the f1 race too!

My prediction for the win is Max since they went to a higher downforce setup and we know how good he’s in these conditions!

maybe he is just downplaying his chances, but Verstappen actually said that the advantage of the McLaren is going to be larger in the wet:

But a wet race in Spa always turns out to be a bit chaotic, of course, so I wouldn't rule him out either.
