2025 Belgian Grand Prix - Spa-Francorchamps, July 25 - 27

[r85]

Alonso, Hamilton and Antonelli will start from the pitlane with fresh engines and new setups. Right thing to do given their positions.

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.

At least the new track surface seems to be draining really well. Hardly any standing water so far.

Fingers, and everything else available, crossed

A storm is on the way from the west.

I give you a link for the weather radar. First a strong shower might hit the track 10-20 minutes before the race.

Get ready for some red flags and a delayed start

Better a delayed start than red flag after 2 laps. I don't really want to see everyone being allowed to switch to a wet setup immediately.

What happens if every car on the grid breaks parc ferme and change their setups, how would a penalty be applied then

The start will be delayed mostly as it started to pour down rain now, and F3 earlier today was canceled due to rains, hope it doesn't affect F1

As it stands Piastri holds the record for highest speed ever going trough puohon at 299 km/h. I believe this speed will not be beaten for many, many years. W11 from 2020 for example did 291 km/h.

Next fastest Verstappen at 297 km/h, norris 296 km/h, tsunoda 295 km/h, leclerc 290 km/h.

Using the F1 movie soundtrack lol

Let them race! Let them race!! Let them race!!!

[djones]

Multiple laps under safety car after formation then red flag. Or something equally as bad.

[erudite450]

Changing the rules on tyre choice behind the safety car was a stupid decision.

[Sevach]

Why suspend the start? It looks fine.
