‘If this was your first F1 race we APOLOGISE’ – Belgian Grand Prix Hot Takes
F1 fans were left disappointed as the Belgian Grand Prix, originally a wet race, turned into a 44-lap tyre management exercise due to the weather conditions.
The race was postponed for an hour because of wet weather and poor track visibility, with the drivers eventually resuming only when the track was nearly dry.
After a few laps behind the safety car and a rolling start, Oscar Piastri secured a comfortable lead and maintained it until the end, leaving his teammate Lando Norris behind.
Max Verstappen missed a podium finish, expressing frustration over the race delay caused by rain, and the GPFans team also criticized the decisions made during the Belgian Grand Prix.
Despite initial excitement, the race at Spa ended up being mundane, with the McLarens dominating and many feeling it was a missed opportunity for an exciting wet race.
The incident highlighted the need for Formula 1 to reconsider its approach to wet races and address the challenges faced by drivers in changing weather conditions, as seen in the Belgian Grand Prix.
