2023 Belgian Grand Prix - Spa-Francorchamps, July 28 - 30

[search]

will it be a standing or rolling start once the safety car pits

both options are possible, as far as I understand the rules:

If, after one or more formation laps behind the safety car, the track conditions are considered unsuitable to start the sprint session or the race from a standing start, the message “ROLLING START” will be sent to all Competitors using the official messaging system

Has the race started???

[avantman]

it's embarrassing at this point.

[avantman]

4 laps behind and safety car on wet tires and then an instant pit stop for inters, because it's not only slower but also unsafe to drive f1 car on wet pirelli tires.

[SirBastianVettel]

They need to change that rule where they mandate teams to start on the full wet tires.

F1 really is dead when it rains now.

[th1ago]

Embarassing. Why can't they race in the rain?

[avantman]

sacking masi was the worst that happened to f1 in years.

what rain mate? there was no single drop of rain for half an hour already.

They need to change that rule where they mandate teams to start on the full wet tires.

Why? Conditions are the same for everyone.

Pathetic!! I’ve seen racing in much wetter tracks. Might as well do 15 formation laps and call it a day!!

[avantman]

now I think about fuji 2007...and almost cry.
what did they do to f1...

[SirBastianVettel]

They need to change that rule where they mandate teams to start on the full wet tires.

Why? Conditions are the same for everyone.

Because they don't let them race until the track is dry enough for intermediate tires. We are likely to see the whole grid box the moment they are allowed to.

[langedweil]

What is roughly the offset between wets and inters ?

[Mogster]

Gasly and Ocon saying it’s too wet to race still.
