yep, Lewis even lost from Nico Rosberg, who retired because he was afraid of Max Verstappen
i did see it afterwards on the onboard camera
The only exciting thing per now in the drivers championship is who will be the champ between the Mclaren blokes.

as it looks now, that is where it seems to be going to
and I don’t think it will be Lando, he is not an asshole enough for that
You need to be an asshole to be the champ in F1. Niki Lauda always said that. It is correct.

so from P20 and P21 it has never been done?
According to the chart no
The lowest grid position to win a race is 22nd, with John Watson securing victory for McLaren at the 1983 US Grand Prix West at Long Beach, finishing ahead of teammate Alain Prost who had started 23rd, despite 13 cars reaching the finish.

At the 1996 Monaco GP, where Olivier Panis was the eventual winner, there were actually four cars crossing the finish line at the end. That is the lowest starting participants versus finishing cars ratio to date.

As always in Spa, it will be a cool thing for the spectators. Spectacle. I think it will be another race between fair-weather drivers and those who are brave.

If there is ever anyone who has the idea of removing Spa from the racing calendar. Should be thrown into the ice bin immediately.

Don`t think the drivers would like it. Many of the drivers has Spa as their favorite track.

I don’t know if there’s another track, like Spa? Not because of the routing. But the differences in altitude. Uphill, ok. But downhill. With the centrifugal forces, you should know your car.
silly …
delayed start
Max wanted to run a few laps behind the SC so the track could dry a bit…
this way there will only be more water on track
