Would Verstappen have preferred to go for easy win at Spa? He says this
Max Verstappen impressed in qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix with a lap time six tenths faster than the rest of the field. However, due to an engine change, he will start from 11th place. Wouldn't the Dutchman have wished he had collected the inevitable grid penalty elsewhere so that he...

A superb race!
Russell's car found to be 1.5kg underweight, with the Stewards. Standby .......
| GEORGE RUSSELL has been disqualified from the Belgian Grand Prix as his car was found to be 1.5kg below the mandated minimum weight (796.5kg vs 798kg).- This weight difference is worth around 0.05 seconds per lap on a track like Spa, or slightly over 2 seconds over the race distance.
Oops
Sad for George but the 1 stop strategy that he suggested meant he burnt to much rubber off as he'd worn the tyres well past there sell-by date resulting in the car being underweight.
Updated results are up!
OMG!

OMG!
Also the nature of this Grand prix means no parade/warm down lamp so no opportunity to pick up the waste rubber balls on the track. These are the margins they work too.
- This weight difference is worth around 0.05 seconds per lap on a track like Spa, or slightly over 2 seconds over the race distance.
Oops
Good result for me though never been so high in the league.
an extremely harsh rule to apply at the end of a race. Dry weight before the race and before fuel would be much fairer. predicting burnt off consumables, whether tyres, oil, brake components must be difficult.
I do feel sorry for George, and my knee jerk reaction, was "sack the engineer!", but actually, just an error in the heat of the race.

isn't quite right, because the weight reduction occurred over 34 laps, and as we don't know how much rubber is lost per lap, he may have only had the weight advantage for say 10 laps? Even then it would have been from zero gain to 1.5kg gain.

Sainz to Williams for 2 seasons from 2025
wouldn't it be fun if Newey went there as well!
I'm convinced he will end his career at Williams. Full circle.
F1 is back! Dutch Grand Prix this weekend folks, predictions in before 14:00hrs GMT Saturday. Good luck
There will be orange smoke billowing across the track
