Graining will be an issue for some tomorrow. It's a 1-stopper anyway.

Medium -> Soft
Soft -> Medium
looks to be the ideal strategy.

No one that matters has new softs and it's a long lap at spa. So it will be M-> H.

The run down to bus stop chicane hurt to watch. Drivers could probably take one hand off the steering wheel and get through the chicane with ease.

But what I say is, whoever saw these simulations in 2022, 2023 and look at it and say, how can we even accept that? It needs to review what happened there because it should have never happened.

I have been saying this for months now, how is it possible that heads have not already rolled in the FIA? They should fire every single person who thought up or okayed this abomination.
