The drivers have given their thoughts as bad weather settles in at Spa-Francorchamps. 🌧️ F1 BelgianGP Formula1
Heavy rain is forecast for Friday’s running at the Belgian GP, and with only one practice session available, this could pose a big problem for the teams and drivers.
Leclerc told media including PlanetF1.com: “It’s really difficult to put into words what we are seeing, apart from saying that we are seeing nothing – but we are not exaggerating when we say we don’t see anything, we really don’t see anything when it’s raining, and this is a really big problem for Formula 1, for motorsport in general, any single seaters.
“To not feel the pressure of starting a race just because we didn’t have any running, which we could be in that situation this weekend. Mercedes driver Russell, a director of the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association, believes the sport’s governing body needs to continue to prioritise the safety of those behind the wheel, particularly in the wake of Van ‘t Hoff’s passing in FRECA at the end of June.
“We all want to race, everybody wants to race. But when you go down that straight at over 200 miles per hour and you can’t see 50 metres in front of you, you know, there will be huge incidents. So yeah, they’ve got a big responsibility this weekend.”Lewis Hamilton added his belief that the FIA wouldn’t allow racing to take place if the governing body did not believe it was safe to do so, and praised the improvements in safety that have been made in recent seasons.
