Max Verustapane Formula 1 has delayed the onset of Race Control decision Belgium Grand Prix For more than an hour due to concerns of visibility, which they punished the red bull’s decision to move towards a wet weather set-up.
As a downper hit spa-frankorchamps before the beginning, Race Control decided to suspend the initial process after the formation lap due to concerns over limited visibility in the rain.
Further shower meant that 80 minutes after the original beginning time 16:20 were delayed by the local time, while Marshall worked to remove the standing water. After one and four lapses behind the safety car, drivers were released to start a rolling in good racing positions, with the first cars later moved to a handful of laps.
The decision to resume the race close to the dry weather situation for the Red Bull, which took a conscious decision to pile up on the downforce due to the possibility of a wet race. This meant that both Verustapanes and Yuki Sunoda The front cars were powerless to overtake them as they had a lack of top speed to run up to 5 tonnes.
After falling behind Ferrari Charles Lakeler As soon as he finished fourth for 39 laps, Vastapane deeply disappointed that he felt that his team was being punished for the preparation of wet conditions.
He said, “We made an option with set-up and they allowed us to drive only in almost clever circumstances, so it was a bit disappointing,” he said, “A wet British GP finished the race control after releasing cars very quickly during a wet British GP, causing a lewd.” Isac Hadzar Crash Andrea Kimi Antoneley In coops in heavy spray.

“Of course, we spoke a little more alert with decisions after silverstone, but it was at the second peak for me.
“This was an option we made with the set-up of the car, which was wrong then, because they did not allow us to run in the wet. Once we reached the dried tire, we were very slow on the straight. And then with the problems of normal balance that I already have with this car, it made everything a little worse.”
A wet-seasoned expert was felt as Vastapane that the track was close to the original start time being prepared, and he was important for drivers who were urging to delay from the race control.
“There was a lot of water between turn 1 and 5, but it would be very clear if you do two laps behind the safety car. And the rest of the tracks were ready to go.
“The more you run, it will be much better. And if you can’t see, you can always pick up. At one point you will see …
“Then it’s better to say: ‘You know what, let’s wait until it is completely dry and then we just start on the slix.” Because this is not really a wet weather race for me.
“At the end of the day, they do what they want, okay?

“On a normal track, yes, I think we could probably start 5-10 minutes ago,” Williams Driver Carlos Sainz“Spa-francrachamps and history of this track, it is better to be safe than an accident and regret.
“You guys got to see the whole race, so I don’t think it was a bad call. A safe call, but my honor to the race director (cotton marks) because he told us after accidents in Silverstone that he would play it safely here and he did it.”
Pierre Galli Six years ago, in a F2 accident at the spa, he lost his close friend Anthoin Hubert, which was in the drought, but even in good conditions, highlighted the lack of visibility on the top of the radylon climb. Alpine The driver, who caught a point in the 10th, also respected the decision of the race control.
“When we started the first lap we could not see one thing, so it was the right call to put a red flag,” he said. “Then a big cloud was coming. Was there a window for five minutes? Possible, but I think they made the right choice.
“This is always the same question. Can you start the race again 10 minutes before or after?
