A deluge at Spa resulted in only two laps being completed but that meant Max Verstappen did enough to earn a ‘half-points’ win
“I would imagine we might get more of a delay,” says David Nostradamus Croft on Sky. He’s not wrong: the organisers immediately add five minutes to the delay, then another five. So that’s the formation lap at 14:20 as it stands.
We’ll have a delayed start – the formation lap will start in 10 minutes – because the rain has just got heavier. “The rain intensity has got much too strong,” says race director Michael Masi.
