Oscar should know by now they want Norris to win.

He needs to push hard and put new tyres on around lap 32.

Hamilton now in trouble with his aggressive wet setup.
What are you talking about? Norris took the suboptimal strategy having to do another lap on inters.

Norris is the one taking the gamble having to go on hards.

Piastri and his management should've learned from 2007...he was never going to be given equal treatment

What are you talking about? Piastri got the primary strategy, everyone else went to mediums.

Norris tactic was a desperate one. Going onto two steps harder tires on a damp and cold track. Any safety car means he gets swamped by Leclerc and Verstappen.

So another chapter of this patheticness. Among all those billions of dollars apparently there aren't a couple ten thousand to equip cars with see in rain/fog cameras (short-wave infrared cameras).
Not that it's strictly necessary. They happily raced in worse circumstances that Belgium 2021 in the 2000s, without issues. Drivers drove with a degree of caution.
They raced in worse conditions literally the previous race.
That was at Silverstone, this is Spa.

In the last 5 years 2 people have died at Spa in single seaters. I’m certain thats a huge factor in the race control decision making.

Is Crofty moronic? He keeps waffling on about Lando taking time off Oscar but when you look at the gap it's still 8ish seconds, what it was an eternity ago!
Oh he's taking half a second per lap off him, where!!! And even if he was he would be out of laps long before he caught him!!!

Leclerc, Verstappen, Russell, Hamilton come out of the pits all within 4 seconds!

You get excited for great racing! Nothing happens! No one attacks at all!

What on earth is so wrong with these cars? I really don’t get it…

P.S. Hamilton 0,4 behind Albon, opens DRS, nothing happens! Unbelievable…

Norris will be kicking himself if he just misses out due to small mistakes

Yeah they’re really trying to inject a ton of hype into something that doesn’t exist. Norris is closing, but obviously is going to come up short
