F1 2023

If the race on Sunday is rained out, race will need to classified in order of the starting grid.

Careful what you wish for, Ferrari will conceive of a strategy to get a grid penalty before that...

So you admit you're only here to troll?

...and be trolled.
it's fair game in a sports fanatics thread.

Spa definitely looks a lot drier than yesterday.
The sky is gray and the sun obscured but the cloud ceiling looks reasonably High and It is not raining whilst the F3 cars are currently on a sprint race drying the track out.
So it looks like the sprint shootout will go ahead as planned this Morning.

And as with most attempts at predicting the weather, especially in Spa, I was 100% wrong
But hopefully the event will go ahead.

And Russell asked for the race to be cancelled. He was obviously very premature.

Well if the FIA let them get away with it two years in a row, especially with the car advantage it bought them this year, then F1 will be dead.

Brundle seems confident. As usual he's right in saying they have good cars, good tyres, and supposedly good drivers. They should get on with it.

Does this surprise you?

What would be your suggestion to set the grid if it's impossible to hold a qualifying session before the race?

In the past quali has also been rescheduled to the Sunday morning so, if needs be, this is also an option. Going by championship standings is an absolute last case option.

There you go.

 

[Sinbad]

If there's no sprint quali they will use the GP quali results to determine the grid for the sprint
