Tiny Child Leads Some Laps, Alpine Staff Turnover, & a Spa Day. It’s the F1 Belgian Grand Prix 🏎 🇧🇪
Umm – let’s just get this out of the way. The Sprint Shootouts are sleep inducing

Here’s the Grid for Today’s Race!


Regular Quali

– I hate any type of rain here. Last race before another mini summer break
– Big news! More changes at Alpine. CEO Laurent Rossi has finally been ousted from the position and Team Principal Otmar is out after this race. Sporting director Alan Permane will so be leaving. The team principal / race strategist silly season is a billion times more interesting than driver silly season
– Norris goes into the gravel with possible front wing damage 😭
– Thought RIC was sixth but track time was deleted
– Sharl takes the top!
– Eliminated Q1: ALB, ZHO, SAR, RIC, HUL
– Max gets a track time deleted (finally)
– Look at Baby Oscar hitting the top!
– Ummmm Max was the driver at risk in Q2???? Can you believe?! He also has a five place grid penalty
– Eliminated Q2: TSU, GAS, MAG, BOT, OCO
– I really wanted Oscar to come through with the pole position

Sprint shootout (I was pretty sunburned and sleepy)
Eliminated S1: TSU, BOT, MAG, ZHO, HUL
Lance in Thee barriers at turn 9 prematurely ending the session.
Eliminated: RIC, ALB, SAR, ALO (didn’t get to out in a time), STR
Maybe Alpine goes faster when they drop the dead weight
—————————————————-———————-
Sprint (the actual one)

– Fernando in the gravel
– Baby Oscar takes the lead!!!!!!
– Perez and Hamilton make contact in lap 6 with Oerez then out and Sir Ham getting a penalty
– Top 3: Verstappen (RedBull), Piastri (McLaren), Gasly (Alpine)
