2024 Belgian Grand Prix - Spa-Francorchamps, July 26 - 28

So.

Folks here have for years slated Vettel for his 2014 results against Ricciardo.

When do we hear these same remarks about 2024 with Russell doing the same to Hamilton?

Lewis is ahead in the WDC.

Think this is the first time that when the chips are really down at the end of the race for the lead, George didn't bin it. That man did insane things with the tyres today.

I’m not sure he did. It was obvious that the tyre had insane life, as everyone could drop the management early in the stints, and it was almost impossible to pass with the shorter DRS zone. It was a good call, but a lot of luck involved. A strange race.

Yeah I do think it was a race where everyone was chasing each other on strategy instead of chasing the ultimate race time

It was less contrived than the last one, tho

No worries, Hamilton beat him comprehensively last year. And he's still ahead this year?

In terms of race pace, Lewis was way ahead. GR was nowhere, hence the Hail Mary. It was purely an inspired strategy call that won this, with various factors aiding that call, like the drs, temps, and everyone stuck

Worth mentioning Lewis had more downforce

[Tvetovnato]

And next year, Piastri will lead McLaren’s title charge I’m sure.

Two Ferrari related questions:
1 - Why didn't Sainz stay out just like Russel (extending the stint on Hard tires and concluding on Medium)?
2 - What happened to Leclerc in the last stint? He was holding a constant 2s gap to Hamilton for 3/4 of the race...

[bluechris]

George....ahaaaa lol

Great win and congrats to Russel.

[Luscion]

Piastri and Hamilton talking about how it's extremely hard it was to overtake once you got into dirty air

[Watto]

Well done to George on making that work.



Oscar drove well too


Red Bull I think would take that ahead of Lando

I'm a believer in that idea at this point.

He flipped me.

Meanwhile with a 10place grid penalty, Ver gets 2pts on Nor ...

For the 2 i am puzzled also... I thought he was saving tyres but this wasn't the case.

Wait.

No even close to being the same comparison.

I think you might to have a re-think on this one.
