    Is Spa done? No not at all, if conditions truly are unsafe the race gets called off like it was a couple of years ago. And any driver who doesn’t want to drive is free to give up their seat and go and be safe.

    I hate the fucking media getting everybody riled up. Here’s an article of Russell saying the track is safe enough https://www.crash.net/f1/news/1032143/1/russell-spa-safe-enough-fellow-f1-drivers-don-t-think-it-needs-changing

    Nobody is calling for the race to be canceled, that’s just media BS.

    F1 reporting is so annoying these days. They put a mic in the driver’s face as fast as possible, pose an extremely leading question and then write three articles about the one sentence answer given. And often the articles have almost nothing to do with the actual answer given.

      If the race is a two lap bullshit again then Spa will be done I bet. Nobody is currently calling for it to be cancelled, but torrential rain at Spa is literally lethal. It has been a long time since f1 saw a driver boycott - we aren’t here yet, but I would not be surprised if there was talk in the gpda if it is torrential on Sunday

    Spa is dangerous. So is racing. Both used to be more dangerous but they still are you know. That fact will not change.

    Not sure its a clickbait article as the title reflects the content. A bit like an article on water being wet. Good chatgpt style.

      I dunno, way worse clickbait out there. He did say that, and the article adds more context. I wouldn’t race around the ardennes in the wet I have to say also
