Norris was very lucky, he could have gone straight in to the tyre wall, the hit and spin maybe saved him serious injury

It will be new gearbox and probably engine anyway so they could then set the car up for the conditions tomorrow. If it’s wet they can go full wet setup and if it’s dry they can trim the wing so he can overtake.
I can’t remember what tech they had 20 years ago, but certainly for years more recently cars had a lot of driver aids like ADS and traction control which they don’t anymore. These things make a huge difference in the wet. I think that might be the main impact along with other rule changes.
Yeah. Used to think he was a bit of a tosser but he's really matured since then. This was top class from him.
All makes sense. But what differentiates between a pit lane start and starting at the back of the grid?
Ah ok that makes sense, probably silly question but could they appeal it as potentially them being late to red flag despite warnings, lead him to have the accident?
It looked far worse from the 3rd party angle rather than on board with Norris. Thank goodness for safety
Hope we get a wet race, but not enough that it's red flagged/ sc start
Not a chance in respect of the appeal on timing of red flag I would think.
Isn't he just. He called it in Q3 straight away.
Why would they red flag it? Norris ran wide and then lost it, he wasn't aquaplaning unfortunately.
It'll be a pit lane start as he's on his third engine prior to starting qualifying today, so he'll need a fourth after that.
The car is completely toast. Amazing that they’ll be able to reconstruct that thing by tomorrow, if indeed they do.
I wonder what role the bump in the track had. Whereabouts on eau rouge is it?
Breaking parc ferme I believe so if he’s at the back anyway like I said previously they can change the car setup for the conditions on the day.
God those Ferrari jackets are bloody nice.
No role whatsoever, his car was oversteering as he got into Raidillon.
SC out, it looks very wet.
some parts look ready to run on, some parts look like a swimming pool.
apparently if they cant finnish Q3, the grid would be decided by the positions in Q2.
Well its in the rules, but I think they will come back Sunday, if they cant do it tooday.

He's one of the last old school drivers who just wants to turn up for the weekend to drive and ignore the rest of the celebrity lifestyle that tends to come with F1.
Would be a sad day when he, Kimi and Alonso retires.
