Right at a time where Wolff needs any excuse to axe one of the current drivers to try and persuade Max to join...

Hamilton, Alonso and Antonelli will all start from the pitlane after changing their PUs.

Rain before the start and likely showers during the race will hopefully prevent a repeat of yesterday's very predictable result. Otherwise, if it's dry I expect Oscar to be leading by Les Combes

Completely forgot about this race sheesh let me tune in hoping for a rain chaotic one with a non McLaren winner

Lewis Hamilton visited Mercedes hospitality this morning, reportedly to show his support for a clearly emotional Kimi Antonelli after another difficult weekend.

Formation lap behind the safety car.

Didn’t they use to race in rain all the time now it’s always safety car

Red flag. No surprise there.

Yep. They're way too risk averse these days

They only started behind the safety car so they can start the clock before red flagging.

A bit of a farce. They should wait.

Probably because of what happened with Jules Bianchi back in 2014.

Race starting in a few minutes

They basically will only let them race if it’s completely dry it’s ridiculous

A rolling start is really going to stretch the field out.

Impressed with Piastri. His tyre management was a weakness 18 months ago

Feel for Tsunoda - he was surely on for some good points today and got screwed over by the strategy

Also fuming that Sauber bought Nico in and cost him 10th

I am perfectly fine with them delaying the race bc of rain if it meant not repeating Melbourne/Silverstone, protect the kids!

Didn't manage to catch this live but was keeping up with updates and definitely thought we were on for another 2021 situation at one point!

Looks like I didn't miss too much. For once I can understand why they were overly cautious about wet racing as Spa is the most dangerous circuit in the world but the rain actually killed off any chances of an interesting race as it became a very simple wet to dry procession. Great recovery drive from Lewis but he really shouldn't have been so low down in the first place. Oscar putting his stamp over Lando convincingly this weekend.

Must be the first ever wet race to have zero retirements?
