We all saw it so there isn't much to discuss; in some cases we saw it over the course of 12hrs if you were following on DVR and had your live race recording cutoff, waiting for the delayed airing Sunday night. 4 laps behind the safety car, half points for the top ten. This Verstappen homecoming weekend in the Netherlands should be better, weather permitting. The major takeaways from this past weekend at Spa were that George Russell is pretty incredible, taking second in the rain in his Williams; Max and the RBR still have the all-around pace edge even after a tricky weekend. Also, a shame for all the binned and damaged cars over the entire weekend. There were quite a few shunts, ranging from slow to dangerously quick. Looking forward, F1 hasn't been at Zandvoort in years so this should be interesting. Above all else though, please let us get some reasonable weather so we can get some F1 racing action.

Enjoy your motorsport holiday weekends.
