Bit of click bait but good interview.

This is how I imagine Sunday's race start will go with VER starting 6th.

Think this will happen in lap 10-11 .

MAX runs 0.8 sec./lap faster than the rest that's 8 sec. in lap 10 to get P1 (without incidents)

Of course , that's just my speculation and I just see for tomorrow 90% chance of rain .
But that's for tomorrow for the sprint shootout and sprintrace ..
Sunday (race) can be drier , but a rain shower is possible at any moment .
Sure . MAX can win the race , just remember what he did last year ...
And he's able to win everything at SPA , he looks very sharp (weight savings) and super focused like a predator but still relaxed .
MAX will be very hard to beat for the rest of this season and in the next 2-3 seasons as well ..

I can say whatever I want , because the Belgian rain , followed by incidents with yellow flags or even a red flag can be the game breaker ...

Yeah it was . But MAX is always straight to the point without talking BS and not like LEW does .
I'm pretty sure Charlie can hold P1 for a long time in the race , because I think Checo is no threat to him .
His danger will come from behind from MAX (without incidents) because he's super fast .

Hope Charlie finally can run a race without Ferrari things

I'd say he's in P1 by Lap 8. Once DRS is enabled on Lap 3, good night Irene.

Can be . But ...
Mate . Let's take a look at the grid ..I mean MAX stands just behind LEW at the startgrid.
So it can go wrong very quickly for both of them !

I really like , good night Irene.

There's always risk and the potential for fireworks but we've seen this movie a few times lately without any fireworks. I'd wager more money on things being clean than otherwise.

Max's jet needs a new livery...yes?

That was at the Liège (Bierset) Airport , just 15-20 min. from my place and 40-50 min. from SPA .

Negative , the thing looks stealth and with the Orange colored highlights it looks very fast like it's supposed to be .
And with his Orange Lion at the tail it couldn't be better (#UnLeashTheLion)
MAX will never change that .

Thanks for sharing my friend

Interesting in that link it says that the maximum rate of increase on Raidillon is 17%
That is about as steep as the steepest sections of the steepest mountain passes climbs in the Tour de France.

Yes . Actually it is when you're in front of it , it looks very steep up (17%)! Height difference is 40 meters...

As you can see here with the Aston team , it hurts the legs

Man, that would be fun to go up full beans

[M3WC]

.8+ seconds on the field, Max is unreal.

I really hope the rain doesn't cancel this race, that would be 2 out of the last 3 years for one of the most iconic races of the year.

There were Spa-Francorchamps 2021 and Emilia Romagna 2023.

But due to the fatal accident at Spa-Francorchamps in the rain, claiming the life of Dilano van 't Hoff earlier this month, we may assume that FIA race directors will not hesitate to cancel or 'red flag' the race if the track gets very wet.

I'd like to go reverse and go down that Raidilon bit on my mountain bike

Well after all these years I have finally made it to Spa!

The first thing you notice is how much TV flattens the track. The track is very steep going up Eau Rouge.

The view from our covered grand stand.

The rain is coming and going but at the moment gone.

Mate . That's a very a nice view there !

Yeah . It rained all night and in the morning , the rain was pouring down , I heard it in the night .

Then this morning we got one hour a sunny moment , but for the moment It's raining again .
A fog covers the track , the fog is hanging in the Francorchamps valley ...
Machines will try to remove the water at the track ..
That's why the shootout is delayed and for the sprintrace it can be even worse.

Thanks for sharing and 'Enjoy it anyway !
