Neah, we've seen bigger crashes at Eau Rouge before. FIA is too scared of rain ever since Jules Bianchi's death.

 

Today's "race" was a total farce. Worst Grand Prix in F1 history. Even 2005 US GP was better than this crap.

Well.... there was no race, so off course it's the worse, but what should they have done? postpone to monday?

They already said they can't postpone it to Mondays. It's their stupid ego that always gets in the way. Anyway, the race should have been called off alltogether. The podium ceremony was totally cringeworthy. Most die-hard fans are upset this bullshit was called an official Grand Prix. I'd be fine if it was cancelled.

 

Now the big wigs say it was a farce and want to rule changes. Yeah, right. I don't trust FIA in finding any solutions. They will always fall for the money. Tell that to people who bought tickets and stood five hours in the rain. But they won't. FIA only cares about those mythical "new fans" posting tiktok videos and other social media crap. How many fans did they win with this two lap safety car drill? I'd say big fat ZERO.

Well the ceremony was total bullshit, but i think that Verstappen did deserve some points for at least winning the pole. Were the fans at least given the money back? i sure hope so

This is not America. Refunds are like the last thing on FIA's mind. Plus it will be the race organizers' job to handle IF refunds will even be available. It sure doesn't help the Spa track director was murdered two weeks ago after her husband discovered she had a lesbian affair and killed her :coffee:

 

There are no points for qualifying in F1 (save for the sprint race nonsense). Nobody deserved anything since those aren't the rules. And you can't possibly react post-factum to make the shitshow look better.

You mean races that were called off when teams were on the premises already? Only last year's Australian Grand Prix due to COVID.

 

1980 Spanish Grand Prix was denied official World Championship status the day AFTER it took place due to the infamous FISA-FOCA power struggle.

 

1985 Belgian Grand Prix was postponed by three months due to track breaking up in Friday practice. Every other official cancelled F1 race suffered this fate in advance (post-1955 Le Mans disaster, two rounds in 1957 due to Suez Canal crisis fuel shortage or 2011 Bahrain GP due to political unrest).

I'm surprised they even did a formation lap.

The formation lap is mandatory in F1 since 1978 (when Bernie Ecclestone became FOCA CEO).

Yes but it was quite obvious that the race can't run, so why even put the cars on the track? they didnt see what happened to Norris??

The decision of not race today, wasn't too wrong. But how they handled it, was totally stupid

Yeah, it was just impossible to make a 'right' decision Sunday. No single decision would have made a large group of people happy: what they did now was unfair to some, cancelling it altogether would have been unfair to others, actually going racing was obviously not at all a realistic possibility (maybe for people who only watch to see heavy crashes, but not so much for fans)...every option was wrong, sadly.

 

The only real bad thing in terms of 'decisions' was Hamilton's dumbass statement: "I hope the fans will get their money back." Yeah, that's easy for him to say, scoring super cheap points over the backs of those who'd actually have to pay it (organizers) and who already have financial problems for years.

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
    • Thursday December 11th, 2025 - Round-Robin Day 4 Schedule (GMT +1)   12:30   Austria vs Ukraine 16:00   Norway vs Kazakhstan 19:30   Slovenia vs France
