Full credit to Vettel for checking to see if Lando was all right following that crash during qualifying.

George Russell putting a Williams into 2nd absolutely incredible, even Latifi getting 12th between the 2 Ferrari's was good, car really working well at the moment.

 

Feel for Lando, had a great chance of pole with the times he was putting in in both Q1 and Q2 - hope Danny Ric can use this quali to put in a performance and get on the podium.

wow at Russell... while as per usual, Bottas was a tool :o

The Williams is clearly very good in the wet and George did exceptionally well but I still expect him to drop back quite quickly tomorrow. If he does his usual poor start it could be a mess at La Source.

 

Norris was looking like getting pole as well which would have been interesting.

Rain is expected but I wonder how much running will be done in the wet? Safety cars, Red Flags etc

Makes Mercedes' decision about their drivers next season pretty easy when Russell out-qualifies their current no. 1 driver.

In theory yes but it depends how much the 'don't upset Lewis' factor matters.

Bear in mind also that Russell and William's put everything in to getting a high wet weather qualifying speed and it looks like both Mercs went for a race set up

Perez has crashed on the way to the grid and is out of the race

What happens if they can't run the race safely? Do the qualifying results become the race results?

it's George's day I hope

They will be able to. As long as they get past a few laps it counts with half points. They will run a number of laps behind safety car for the start which will help clear the track

the Belgian fans don't give a f*** I love them

 

hope they can actually race today..

They've now stopped the time limit.

When they went out earlier they should have just gone with it, 5 or 10 laps behind the safety car would have helped to bring out a drier line that would have been enough to use.

 

Yes, it's raining but it's nowhere near the worst conditions we've seen, it's no worse than '98 for example

Doing 2 laps just to get a result in then! What a pointless day.

Ive been stuck in traffic driving home from Hamburg and thought I’d missed a fab damp spa race and Ive missed absolutely nothing. Farce.

Farcical like Indianapolis 2005.

Not sure anything can beat 6 car Indy on the farce scale

At least Indy 05 had some actual racing!

 

Very disappointing for the fans there. And doing 2 laps to get an 'official' race means they can probably avoid paying refunds. At least Russell's Saturday heroics have proven very well-timed!
