Remarkable GP in Belgium.
Wet Practice, Verstappen with a grid penalty,new track surface so nobody had solid data on what tyres/strategy.
Amazing start from 3rd place by Hamilton into 2nd then past LeClerc early.
Then the pit strategy - 2 stops they chose.
Except Russell who TOLD Mercedes he would stay out on Hard Tyres for half the Race.
And pinched the win from Hamilton.
Shock result Mercedes 1 & 2
Brutal
Its France its August they are on strike no change from any other year then
I see Williams have sacked the American for not being able to turn the wheel around a corner
Renault Staff strike so that they can be allowed to continue to produce the worst engine on the grid. An engine so bad that even their own team has decided to look elsewhere
Wah wah wah our cars isn’t as fast as it used to be, let’s make a complaint…
TBH its what F1 has sadly become - sooo many rules that exist to ‘ curb costs’ yet reduce creative engineering (which what it used to be about) - All teams complain about others when they believe these rules have been breached… not just RB.
Just listen to Hamilton and verstappen whiny whinging windbags whenever something is not going right…
Give me Lauda/Hunt, Prost/Senna anyday
Practice was delayed

Aston Martin have decided to completely change the braking system whilst waiting on the grid. 10 minutes to go and the car is in bits - it will be amazing if that car actually starts this race
That was an entertaining qualifying - Max in 17th Norris on pole and cars stuffing it into the barriers all over the place
The mechanics are going to be working hard to get some of those cars back on the grid
Followed on BBC Text.
certainly want to watch the actual race now could be crazy
and great to see Horner & Verstappen moaning
They’ve been moaning for weeks, ever since they lost dominance and Verstappen hasn’t been able to get away with over aggressive defensive driving.
Lance Stroll goes off in the formation lap. Start delayed??
Aborted start
Norris under investigation for a false wrong procedure
Verstappen up to 6th from 17 on the frid in the 11th lap…
What was he doing in the frid on the first place!?
Well that was as pleasing a Vardy hat trick 
Everyone loves working with Ben
