79% is shockingly high. Shows how many old people there are.

Here we go again!?

Maybe this time they should do a fake start / secret extra formation lap complete with 5 red lights. Could be pretty funny.

Maybe it’s me but I was hoping we wouldn’t import this kind of Instagram spam to Lemmy. I guess most people like posts like this? I’ll just be happy for more content then.

I’m sorry, but no. This is not a Spa problem. A crash like this could have happened at a large number of circuits in these conditions.

Remember that wet Brazil GP a few years ago when Kimi spun on the start finish straight, ending up stationary at a 90 degree angle to the track? Could have easily been fatal had he been hit. Same possibility at Baku (even in the dry because of the blind corners), Monza, …

It’s basically impossible the run modern open seaters in these conditions because of all the aero downforce and thus spray. That’s the discussion to have imo.

They didn’t say it was an excuse. They didn’t defend being a shitbag. They offered an explanation. You may disagree with it, but you’re not talking about the same thing here.
