What's the minimum distance to declare it a "result"?

I wonder if they'll just go out, roll around in a convoy, hit the mark and all pit if it doesn't improve

From the BBC, looks like it's going ahead tonight.

Half points
It'll be a half-points one-hour race (hopefully).

So, instead of the usual 25 points, it'll be 12.5 for the winner, 9 for second, 7.5 for third, 6 for fourth, 5 for fifth, 4 for sixth, 3 for seventh, 2 for eighth, 1 for nine and 0.5 for tenth.

Not too sure if the bonus point for fastest lap stays the same.

BBC again, but they said 2 laps will class as enough for half points.

Watching the on-board camera from Russell, that's the right choice. Pack it up, shame, I love Spa and it would be a shame for Russell to get his first podium like this but there's no race here.

 

[Yid-ol]

Did they race at all, or all behind the safety car? As if it's behind the safety car I can't see how they can award points.

I hope the safety car driver gets the driver of the day.

 

[LSUY]

Russell gets P2 and Mazepin gets the fastest lap

This GP has been great.

I hope all the fans get a refund.

 

[Bowlesinho]

Still better than Monaco....

 

[Rocksuperstar]

That is a brilliant circuit. Maybe a bit narrow for F1 speeds now but what a fun place it must be to drive.

Tactical win today for Max, really pleased for him, it's been a bumper couple of races for him.

Great race, wild incident just now.

Racing incident IMO, watching again the Halo has saved Hamilton.

Also that kerb needs to be changed moving forward.

Similar to what happend on lap 1, just different way round, just this time max didn't back out and that happened. Can't see anything coming from it IMO.

When the roles were reversed Hamilton pulled out and lived to fight another day. Max continually puts himself into situations where either he wins or no one wins.

He should be treated like Grosjean was.

What a fantastic race from start to finish! I'm absolutely delighted for Ricciardo and McLaren

Sick and tired of the pro Max camp trying to defend his spoilt brat attitude, even Horner couldn't defend him this time. Did we see Toto running up and down the paddock trying to get LMaxbanned? Classless Red Bull dimwits.

Max comes across as the biggest fucking douche on the Netflix documentary. So hearing this is not at all surprising.

I take it this has been looked at and decided it was a racing incident? Or still being looked at?

Nope. 3 place grid drop for max in next race.

I say his quotes, (f1 twitter retweeted) he won't be happy as he blames Lewis for not working with him and leaving the gap.

It will be interesting if Max and Lewis both elect to take PU penalties next race as well. Both teams have indicated they will need a 4th engine before the end of the season. For Max, it might make sense to take it at the same time as this penalty. For Lewis, I don't know what was damaged in the crash today, but it might also make sense to take the pen at the same time as Max. Bottas, with the new PU, looked to have more pace today.
