he wont be able to do a thing with it as it is - thats why they abandoned the start. You cant race with the current visibility

What about yesterday's Qualifying? He didn't had problems yesterday with visibility. Is it because cars usually had greater distance at that point?

How did Senna and the drivers of 80s and 90s did this? How did they manage to drive like that?

Maybe them having had a lot less downforce helped there - these cars clear the track faster, but that water goes up in a bigger rooster tail too.

So it looks like Lando is driving with older engine today. Makes sense.

"The initial assessment of Norris’s Mercedes engine is that it is OK but as a precaution he will return an earlier power unit for the race."

Is it a good idea to put him an older engine if the new one is OK? Will the engine hold beyond it's duration?

I went out when the start was delayed to take care of something and I am going back home now. Are we going to have a race today?

for one thing, they did stop the races back then too, but i think it is true todays racing is a lot more risk averse. And this being Spa, the spray can just hang in the air. There was a massive pile up at Spa in 98, and dont think it was as bad as it is today.

On the Perez thing, so far as i thought, it wasnt about whether the race had started or not, but they withdrew the car from the race

if it gets run tomorrow, its ok for mclaren i guess - if it just cancelled its bad - you got DR in P4 and a Lando that is totally comfortable with his car in changeable conditions ready to pounce
Forecast is the same for tomorrow.

Question guys, could Lando of instead ran a higher wing and started from the pitlane instead of 15th? or is that not possible, because I'm sure Perez did it in Silverstone

Is that good for Mclaren or bad?
From a standings perspective, it's a bit of a negative as this is a track where they seem to have the edge over Ferrari.


I don't see them coming back here if they don't race today.

I don't think this race is happening. Dissappointing. Got really excited after a 3 week race drought. Welp, gotta wait one more week I guess.
