Conflict with the clarets tomorrow... Sorry lads I'll be flicking on and off but a wet Spa has to take priority this weekend!

Wet F3 this morning, wet qually now, 80% wet race tomorrow.

Gonna be a blinder.

Good opportunity for Red Bull this weekend, also some good opportunities for the midfield.

Spa is always a stunning spectacle, but Burnley first! Enjoy the race!

must admit it will be F! for me tomorrow - these conditions mean it will be a blinder - and I have had my fill of Red Bull player on Channel four that poses as highlights

My one and only time at a Grand Prix was Spa 2012. Watched Jenson Button win and Michael Schumacher drive. It was a brilliant weekend. Burnley games always take priority though.

Wet races always add an element of unpredictability, so it should be a good one tomorrow.

part of my decision is the two times I put last weeks game on they scored within 20 seconds when I had just read we were doing well - so this week I thought I would take one for the team

Norris wraps up his car at the start of quali 3....Spa really is a monster of a race track.

Vettel angry and red flag didn't come before the Norris crash, both Vettel and Norris commented on the water on the track but it didn't stop Norris going for it.

Spa starting to look like Manchester during a test match,it's going to be a long session.

George Russell absolutely sensational lap, WOW!

Hard luck ...George

Wet wet wet.

Formation lap behind safety car incoming.

Perez crashed onto way to the grid.

Now a delayed start. Gutless Masi actually helping me to watch a bit of footie

Red Bull trying to get Perez back in when they said he would not be starting in a radio message to the Race Director

Cannot see this race starting this side of tea

Strong chance this race won't take place today, heavy rain continuing to fall at Spa.

It may even get put back to Monday, but they're trying their best to get it up and running today, however the weather certainly isn't playing ball.

Race starts at 17:17

it will be a parade to allocated the half race points great for Red Bull, Williams, Torro Rosso and McClaren not so for others

Cant see it lasting long

Red flagged again.

absolutely obvious that would happen

It'll be classified now

Thats the only reason they've done it - presumably so they don't have to issue refunds

farcical

Disgrace on behalf of F1. Should have just delayed it until tomorrow.

never mind the takedown move and re-erect of all the team paraphernalia in Zandervort for next week - the bigger issue is the availability of the marshals the majority of whom are volunteers and in Europe tomorrow is a workday not a public holiday

Not a single lap in anger at Spa, no Singapore GP, Japan cancelled...

Ughhhh

Zandvoort will be a **** track too!

What a farce to get a result....should just have all f**ked off home around 3 pm and called it a no result.

The only reason it was done was to give Verstaapen the points and make the championship closer to keep the interest. Red Bull will be delighted and even more so if they win the title by a couple of points.

Got there Friday evening and just got home- it rained non-stop.

Made the camping in knee deep mud a memorable experience.

I was camping 2 years ago and it was glorious weather. Whilst watching on Sunday I did fear for those that were camping at the bottom of the hill!

We got there about 9pm Friday. The tractor was dragging cars into the field at that stage… the situation had got worse over the next 48hrs.

That’s a fair point, but surely a somewhat disrupted schedule for the next race would be better than this farcical situation? I’m sure they could rally round and get stewards from somewhere, even if you had to fly them in - get on to one of the many marshals associations?

Overall, all very poor - if it couldn’t be held safely they should have cancelled it & given fans their money back. As it stands, folk like burnleyareback2 are out of pocket and we have a corrupted championship!

This tickled me,I love Lewis Hamilton....but how times have changed.

He wears some **** clobber doesn’t he?

Tbf, bet he’d give James Hunt a run for his money on women he’s had in his motor home

Yep he dresses like a knob and each week it gradually goes worse....fantastic driver though.
