Ferrari defends F1 Belgium GP delay: “We will give them fuck”

In an interval of 80 minutes between FIA Race Control Red-flying proceedings in Belgium The safety car is going on at the end of the lap of formation and the race is going on at the end – although again in neutral circumstances – there was a lot of time for commentators and fans who were similar to taping their feet impatiently.

Among the soden fans at the Grandstands, the broadcasts considered how to fill all the ‘dead air’, and the fans returned the house whether to switch to the channels to repeat the channels Colombo Instead, naturally a consensus was formed that the race control should simply join it.

However, when there were some disgruntled voices in the padock, most drivers and team leaders agreed that the FIA officials had taken the right decision, with the unique challenges of this resure and the long history of serious accidents in the state of the sub-most weather.

On Thursday Alpine‘S Pierre Galli He led his now-old ‘Run for Anthoin’ around the track, stopping to lay flowers at the place where his friend Anthoin Hubert was killed in 2019; The runners shut down the camel directly, where two years ago a formula was badly crashed by the Delan Van Half in the regional race.

These are areas where the spa is the most vicious in wet, high -speed areas, where spray plums can hide all kinds of obstacles.

“We cannot blame them (race control) because we will be collectively the first ones that they have been given dirt,” Ferrari Team Principal Frederick Wasasur in his post-respective briefing.

“In this sense, we have to respect his decision. I can openly talk because I have a car that is emphasizing high downforce, a car is emphasizing on less downforce and I was comfortable to respect his decision as they are taking a big responsibility.”

Naturally, being a formula 1, individual optics were demarcated with matters of competitive advantage. The teams who adopted high-douters settings before qualifying for Grand Prix, taking a performance ‘hit’, believing that will be repaid as a profit in wet conditions, in the forecast, took a more negative outlook.

Principal of Red Bull Team Laurent Macis said, “I think we are all surprised, I am confident how long we started the race,” said the principal of the Red Bull Team Laurent Mcis, who returned to the competition before crossing the floor for late Charlie Whiting for a short time.

“I am sure the FIA had its own views. But of course, as a team, it surprised us. Because fundamentally we not only waited to stop the rain, but also waited for a lot of sun to come out. And then we still had many lap behind the security car.

“In our specific case, cars are biased towards wet walking, of course, it is the cost of American performance. But it is part of the game.”

Motorsport understands that in the first formation lap before suspension, all drivers but one complained about visibility and declared it insecure for straight race. While the possibility of available grip being available was sufficient, the major issue was the limited area of the vision of the drivers.

This is an issue that is cooked in the current generation of cars. Farcical 2021 Belgium GP followed with a means of containing sprays from F1 tires, where the results were to be declared after just two laps behind the security car, nothing came.

Most spray cars are generated by ground-effects ventric tunnels and the way they produce downforce have a fundamental result. In the spa, the issue is complicated by the topography of the track: compression in the EO rose makes it difficult to see and react to any event in the radylon, and the camel straight that follows the pitches that follow the pitches flat in the spray wall.

“I think the race was managed in a very intelligent way today,” McLaren The team’s principal Andrea Stella, because we knew that a lot of rain was coming, and I think in a circuit like this, if you delay the call, it can be too late, and the result can be difficult.

“We always praise the work of the FIA when it is eligible, and I think it is one of the cases in which it should be praised. Because I understand that it will be quite entertaining to see cars going under wet conditions, but we should all be careful that the average speed in the spa is so much that the cars are so high that the cars are so highly disposed of.

“We have already seen in silverstone that a car (Isac Hadzar) Another car (km antoneley) went into the gearbox because it was impossible to see, and it was low and less water. Therefore, we do not want to see this even in the spa. ,
