I'm sure Vettel didn't expect to essentially be a #2 driver by this point in the season, but he was a total pro allowing LeClerc to pass, and then holding off Hamilton as long as he did while losing the tires.

If the shoe was on Hamilton's foot, I wonder what he would have done.

Edit: I just watched Hubert's crash. Wow...horrific. He was a rising star too.

Albon got lucky at the end there, but P5 is the best result he could have gotten in a Red Bull at Spa. I hope he doesn't get penalized for that pass in the grass on the last lap. He's got to qualify better of course, but good first race.


Albon didn't even try to get out of Q2 because he was taking an engine penalty and wanted to choose what tires to start on.

Probably drove the wheels off it and held Bottas off until the car had nothing left.

That was such a stupid end to qualifying.

I agree with you. Leclerc is probably in trouble with both Mercedes right behind him.

He was going to be starting last no matter what, so they didn't put any time on the engine.

Kind of shows how F1 penalty rules hurt rather than help the sport a lot of times.

Vettel was pretty pissed at Leclerc over the qualifying ending

They put a new engine in this week for development purposes. The plan is to compete next year, so they're willing to spend the money on a 4th gen PU this year.

They said after that his engine went into anti-stall because of wheel spin.

The TV guys were speculating that they were trying to introduce a 5th engine without having to take another penalty. But I think that's been ruled out.

He was going to be at the back anyway. He could have ran a new engine without being worse off.

The F3 crash is crazy. Trying to find a link.

reddit link for now

Vettel doing his part to help his team this morning.

Given a 10 sec stop/go penalty.
