Belgium is cool with this - you can go to a frites stand that has like 50 different sauces to drown your fries and carry them over to the local pub and have them with a great Belgian beer.m-walker said:

Both Williams drivers finished in the points!

They could easily race tomorrow.
Everything I've seen has claimed the opposite - it would have been nearly impossible to race on Monday. And it seems that none of the teams were advocating for this option anyways.
Probably need a rule change noting in the event the race cannot be held due to weather the points will be awarded based on qualifying. It would be incredibly rare, but everyone would know what to expect
I feel for the fans. These tickets are not cheap at all.
Mine at Cota for the grandstand in turn 1 are like $1,200 for two for the weekend.

So what happened with Perez? Were they able to get his car fixed for the two laps?
(I had to leave the house before the conclusion)

Yes, they got him fixed and he started from pit lane in last place. So it didn't matter that they fixed the car.
Anyone seen the points after today's "race"?
Ocon is 10th with 42 points.

Ah. Thanks
It's wild that we have been able to watch max in a full race 3x now..
Glad I didn't try to watch this morning and got to fast forward. It better not rain all weekend in Austin

A few years ago it was a muddy disaster.
But at least they raced.
In doing more research, the reason they couldn't race on Monday, is because the marshals are volunteers who had to work today. Every other major racing series has hired traveling marshals and safety personnel which allow the races to be held.
Maybe this is something the FIA considers to prevent this from happening again. Also with how focused they are on safety, sort of blows my mind they'd leave the firefighting and car retrieval to literal amateurs.

Schumacher Trailer dropped:
maybe a dumb suggestion, but why dont they re-run the Belgium Grand Prix again, during the week they would have run the race in Japan?
Turkey is the week before and the US is two weeks after. Seems like they'd be able to re-schedule.
I realize that might be logistically tricky, but they have a little time to work it out.
I don't think they can do a race between two fly away races. Logistics would be nearly impossible.
Wasnt that happening anyway?
Turkey-Japan-US just changes to Turkey-Belgium-US
I admit, the logistics would be crazy. But they were talking about maybe racing Monday instead of Sunday this past week. That would seem to be to be a much tougher logistical nightmare.

Yeah, you're right. I'd like to see a double header in Austin but Spa part 2 would be fun too.
Dude...a double header in Austin would be freaking fantastic.aggiejumper said:

But I wonder if they consider this, for the fans who got the short end of the stick there.
Latest rumors I have seen out there are:
Russell to Merc
Bottas to Alfa
Kimi retiring
Sounds like Alfa wants to delay the announcement until it can be done at Monza.

Those moves make a lot of sense
Mercedes needs a good driver, but someone who will defer to Hamilton. I think Russell will do that.

George will be a thorn in Hamilton's side. Think Nico/Lewis all over
This. I don't see Russell deferring to Lewis at allaggiejumper said:

Also saw de Vries to Alfa to replace Gio

Hope so. He seems too eager to please to me. Maybe I have the wrong impression of him.
He has 3 seasons now. I don't think he will move aside for Hamilton at all on track. I do see him not making waves off track and being more cordial. Russell and Williams are easily my second favorite team/driver combo. Will be hard to root for Merc but I'll always root for George.

Sounds like Albon may fill Russell's seat...lunchbox said:

Kimi just announced his retirement so I am guessing most of the announcements for contracts for next year will happen over the next two weeks.
We are going to be sad to see you go, Kimi 😢

Yep - that was one of the key dominoes that'll let the other moves get announced.F1_Aggie_Fan said:

It was amazing seeing F1 cars in the rain in person!
