Weather Concerns Before Belgian Grand Prix

There have been several accidents on the Spa-Francorchamps course in the past. An accident at the circuit during a Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine (FRECA) race earlier in July claimed the life of 18-year-old Dutch driver Dilano van ‘t Hoff.

Anthoine Hubert, a Formula 2 driver, was killed in a high-speed collision at Spa-Francorchamps in 2019. Whenever Formula One has returned to the track, Alpine driver and Hubert buddy Pierre Gasly has led tributes to his fellow Frenchman.

Meanwhile, Mercedes driver George Russell has urged motorsport’s governing body, the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), to be “bold” and cancel the race if the weather worsens.

After only 3 minutes and 27 seconds of competition, bad weather forced organizers to call off the race two years ago. Russell isn’t the only driver to worry about driving on the track in bad weather; Carlos Sainz, Valtteri Bottas, and Fernando Alonso have all voiced similar worries.

According to sports betting news reports, Charles Leclerc agreed that improvements to the course might increase safety. One of the most recognizable turns in motorsport is Eau Rouge, so-called for the reddish color and the stream that runs below it. As automobiles develop quicker, safety precautions, such as the location of obstacles, have changed throughout the years.
