🚨LANDO NORRIS | SPA 2021 QUALY Q1 - First by 0.416s Q2 - First by 0.204s Q3 - Crashes at the start of the session

@GrumpyKerb It's one of my favorite pictures of him

@F1BigData This picture... He looks as if someone asked him how his surgery for hemorrhoids went.

This weekend, Oscar Piastri could become the Australian with the most consecutive Q3 appearances in history He is currently tied with Daniel Ricciardo on 37

Over the last 60 years, no driver has managed to achieve a Grand Slam at Spa. The only driver in history to have done so is Jack Brabham in 1960 We’ll see if that changes this weekend

At Spa in 1998, we witnessed the worst start in history, with a pile-up that forced as many as 11 different cars to retire

At Spa 2022, Verstappen was the fastest in qualifying by +0.632s, but started the from P14 due to PU changes By lap 18 he was already in the lead, and went on to win the race by 17.841s

In Spa 2010, everyone was on slick tyres during Q1 when it started raining heavily on the final section of the track 🐐Which driver was the only one who had no trouble keeping his car on the track? Michael Schumacher

Driver who have won starting from P10 or worse at Spa 🇩🇪 Michael Schumacher - From P16 in 1995 🇳🇱 Max Verstappen - From P14 in 2022 🇬🇧 Jim Clark - From P12 in 1962 🇫🇮 Kimi Raikkonen - From P10 in 2004

Throwback to Spa 2002, when we saw Kimi Raikkonen going full throttle through a cloud of smoke caused by Olivier Panis's engine

@FormulaPace Obviously, they can't activate the SM there for safety reasons What I mean is, since they can't activate the SM, those areas automatically become charging zones because there's an SM right before and after them

@F1BigData I think the more simple explanation is that having straight line mode in those areas will result in massive accidents because they are not straights

As for this year at Spa, it’s obvious that they’ve turned both Eau Rouge/Raidillon and Blanchimont into charging stations Since active aero is closed in those areas, energy deployment is less efficient there, so the obvious decision is to recharge in those areas and deploy the energy immediately afterward, where there is a straight mode zone

In 1999, Jacques Villeneuve and Ricardo Zonta, teammates on the BAR team, made a bet at Spa to see which of them could take Eau Rouge flat out 💥Result: 2 massive crashes

🔥Exactly 7 years ago, Charles Leclerc and Verstappen gave us one of the best battles in recent memory at Silverstone We need to have more battles between these two again

Max Verstappen led 1 lap at Spa in 2021 Max Verstappen led every lap at Spa in 2021 Both of the above statements are true

Charles Leclerc in his last 3 races at Spa 2023 - P3 2024 - P3 2025 - P3
