Grosjean is the one that will lose his seat. Steiner has said so today, that it is between Hulkenburg and Grosjean for the seat.

I will be surprised if they do keep Grosjean, because of all the problems between him and Magnussen.

Fixed it, and it seems as if no pace was lost.

Having said that, it is going to be a Ferrari 1-2 procession tomorrow.

RB is the big disappointment for me, I really though they would be a lot quicker.

As we expected , the Ferraris dominated in Spa by their high top speed .
Great QF hot lap from Charles !

But... Tomorrow at Spa the conditions will be completely different by the unpredictable weather !
Tomorrow (race day) at least 14C° cooler with (possible) *light rain showers* between 12-18 PM => https://www.yr.no/place/Belgium/Wall...Francorchamps/

The HONDA from MAX was too slow by the lack of high top speed .

MAX told me ..He will play the whole night the next song with the repeat button on !

wish there was another 1-2 laps..
but superb job from Leclerc and he drove more like a champion than Vettel all weekend long.. friendship between Hubert and Leclerc and the timing of this win has some meaning.. Vettel finished almost 30 sec away from Leclerc, i guess this ll make Vet think a bit with his 4 tittles.. Merc's were much better in the race which is great.. a bit expected.. i guess they re already working on how to make car's top speed better in Italy for next week..

Yeah . Another 1-2 laps for Lewis . But did you noticed what I saw ?
Lewis lost 1.5 + sec during his bad pitstop (took way too long) The issue was that his left rear wheel was stuck ! There at that moment Lewis lost the race by losing time in the pit ! Otherwise he was 2 laps earlier under Charles rear wing...While Charles tires were shot ..
On the other hand , the Ferrari top speed on the straights was incredible fast !
Like usual ,I saw a great race from Lewis anyway. Sadly he actually lost the race with his slow tire change ...
Great camera-setup at Eau Rouge/ Raidillon ! The cars flew through the screen like bullets !

About MAX...
Well..His race was already over after 500 meters . Caused by another bad launch control . He lost 4-5 places . Came in traffic and was sandwiched inside by Kimi and the wall of the La Source hairpin .
By Kimi's contact , his left front wheel suspension was damaged . And he ended up in the wall .
His Honda engine had already the whole weekend issues. Yesterday also during the qualifying session the Honda engine dropped several times in safety mode at full throttle, and refused to pull at 100% .
MAX is not happy , because SPA is/was his home race ! And HONDA has some work to do...ASAP !

Charles' tyres were shot yes yet the Merc's were pulling much longer with apparently no real tyre issues and running like trains,also evident with Seb being hauled in earlier for tyres.
The slight reduction in tyre thickness has worked in Mercs favour, again,as with the secret tyre testing they did a while back with black painted cars and helmets.

Lewis has, once again, demonstrated relentless race pace. It's unbelievable and whether at a twisty track like Hungary or a long sweeping track like Spa, he is clearly the class of the field. As Philippe says, the tire change ruined HAMs race.

LEC was superb all weekend and deserved to win. RIP Antoine.

The huge gap between Leclerc and Vettel was the result of strategy and him being left out to block Hamilton. I know you're a hater, but come on the actual gap in pace wasn't that large.

Yes the pit stop was bad, but I'm nor so sure the race was lost there.
Either way he was still help up by VET and I doubt the 1.5 seconds would have gotten him past any sooner.

If I understand your statement ... You are saying that Pirelli had a kind of tire development (conspiracy) in the favor of Mercedes ?

Was this allowed by the FIA ? I didn't saw sanctions by the FIA ?

I think he's referring to the '13? scandal. They only had black helmets though I thought.
