2 laps to go ...what a mess in the rain !!!

That was fun. Wish Lando had held on though

///M Power-Belgium · 09-26-2021, 09:35 AM

HAM => P1
MAX => P2

MAX gained 18 places !!!

GuidoK · 09-26-2021, 09:36 AM

Nice result for Max.
Start last, finish 2nd on a MERC track

Sadly the gamble didn't pay off for NOR.

M5Rick · 09-26-2021, 09:36 AM

HUGE damage limitation from Max,started last and got second,Best Driver of the Race for sure!

Gambled with the weather and tyres and lost out and may get a cane from stewards for crossing line.

Yeah saw that too. I hope the stewards take an understanding position in this.

I'll look forward to watching in full later, it looked scrappy on the board but it's the best that Max could hope for in fact a near miracle on a Merc track. I'm happy with that.

It was impossible in the rain for him, Norris deserved to win for sure.

My friend imagine Toto's look on Bot when he sees him after this, I heard him say to Bot ''put your foot down to pass them in front for points''!

The McLaren pitstop strategy in the rain failed completely ...

Lando wasn't happy over the board radio : He said 'shut up !

HAM's victory was a gift from McLaren..

Yeah I heard Norris say 'sod off'! to them..he maybe could have stayed out, obvious Zak pointed the finger to pull him in.

felt bad for Norris but at the same time going for a tire change was obviously needed after some time.. there were still 6-7 laps no one could hang on with slicks in rain that long.. thus its purely Lando's choice to stay out while team was calling him in.. being young bounced back for a possible victory for him.. other than that he was racing flawless until rain part.. i believe he ll remember this day every time rain falls for some time..

Lewis had a terrible start and stayed on the safe side in first laps pulled him even lower places.. after Ric pitted.. it was pure champion drive.. so great to see him performing top-notch again.. just at the right time putting in fastest laps..

lottery won by Max this race.. towards the end probably his tires d get even worse in dry so 7th was looking like where he d finish.. one way or another its a team sport.. well done to Red Bull..

Ferraris were looking racey which is cool.. as far as i remember Leclerc had the new updated engine but that update doesnt seem that good at least for this race..

Ric started to get in the mood and be more comfortable with the car and everything thats good news..

race wasnt that fun except few overtakes but it was a close race.. im super glad Lewis won almost by a minute..

Slightly off the beaten track but I didn't know there was a podium celebration for the Belgian GP
