Verstappen warns F1 on EXTREME decision threatening end of an era
Max Verstappen has declared the end of a Formula 1 era due to the decision to postpone the Belgian Grand Prix amidst rainy conditions on Sunday.
The Belgian GP delay lasted over an hour because of the wet weather and poor visibility at Spa, prompting Verstappen to criticize the decision for being overly cautious.
When F1 finally resumed at Spa, the track had dried up considerably, leading to a lackluster race with teams switching to slick tires early on.
Verstappen, in an interview with Sky Sports post-race, voiced his disagreement with race control’s cautious approach, lamenting the loss of classic wet races in the sport.
The decision to delay the Belgian GP followed a tumultuous weekend at Silverstone, where wet conditions caused visibility issues and accidents, further fueling the debate over F1’s cautious stance on wet races.
