2021 Belgian Grand Prix - Spa-Francorchamps, Aug 27 - 29

[Restomaniac]

So we’re not allowing cars to start from the grid normally now it’s behind the safety car. Amazing.
‘Here max have 1st place into turn 1’.

Edit:- Just to clarify I would say exactly the same no matter who was on pole.

[Tvetovnato]

This will be a loooong afternoon…

[godlameroso]

What happens if the race gets rained out? No race?

[basti313]

Did they bring back the car of Per for a pit lane start?

[djones]

So far down to 2hr40 to run the race.

We all wish for rain. But the amount of times it actually ruins a race is surprising.

From what I read there is too much damage to start at all.

Agree. Feels like we had more tolerance in the early 2000s when it came to heavy rain. Now it’s almost the norm that we have delays and 10 SC laps before we get going…

not sure, but I'd think it's very unlikely that they won't even try. And 2 laps (even behind the Safety Car) are enough for an official result (with half points)

It looks terrible, TV showing rivers crossing the track.

I’m sure the chaotic start in Hungary is having some bearing.

They're not allowed to start the race anyways as he didnt make it back by himself.

Tbh Even though a processional start is dull as dishwater compared to a standing start, it’s probably a good thing if it prevents a Hungary at the first corner!

It looks bloody horrible there at the moment and we absolutely don’t want any drivers getting hurt.

[djones]

As we have some time to kill I'm going for a prediction:

1. Vettel
2. Sianz
3. Norris

[godlameroso]

This rain will go on for a good 30 min more from what I'm seeing.

[TNTHead]

May be they can fix Perez' car before race start!

[politburo]

There's even more rain now than 25 minutes ago by the looks of it.
