F1: Spa Race thread

[Reck]

Quals spoilers ahead:





Hamilton is a maniac. How does he do it?

His fries were done and somehow he pulled another pole out of his ass.

The track also dried up incredibly fast.

Great qualifying.
Gonna be a really interesting start with both Force India's starting in row two.

 

[Reck]

I'm thinking Vettel nicks Hamilton at the start for the lead. He's been so money this year on starts.

Tragically, a policeman was shot near the track last night.

Holy ****.

No idea why F1 waited so long to throw the yellow.

I'm still going to say I was right.

That crash looked really dangerous. However they waited to throw the yellow until the cars had passed Kemmel straight.

 

[Reck]

This one is already over.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Kimi is done for the day as well.

This one is already over.

Not really, there've been many late turnarounds this season.

 

[Reck]

I get a kick out of hearing these announcers agonize and go into full delusion mode with Hamilton.

"I see Hamilton getting closer" as he falls 4 seconds off of Vetell.

 

[Reck]

I would've thought Bottas be a little higher than 10th at this stage. Mercs are plenty slow.

 

[Kiante]

This race is pretty meh tbh.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Vettel!

 

[donthaveanickname]

One of the less exciting races this season so far. Vettel dominated all day. Kemmel straight was the only spot where overtaking was possible.

Why is this track popular, again?

Watch the F2 race from yesterday and you know why.

 

[Mispeedway15]

Kinda like the Martinsville spring race showed us, even great tracks can put on snoozefests

Why is this track popular, again?

Spa-Francorchamps, featuring the world famous "Eau Rouge Straightaway."

Most of the blame goes to the dumbass F1 rules makers and their tons of downforce. And the rest of the blame goes to the circuit for those non-curbs.

I like Spa.
