Absolutely awful. I love historic circuits and am in favor of keeping them on the various motorsport calendars, but there needs to be a roundtable on what can be done to improve safety on this section of track.
The very first thing they need to do is stop running races in extreme downpour conditions at Spa, atleast for the feeder series with junior drivers.
Unfortunately, I came across a video of the crash somewhere on twitter and itโs shockingly similar to what happened between Hubert and Correa.
A crying shame that not only do lives continue to be lost, but in ways that are damn near identical to past events that we should have already learned better from.
This is the issue. Spa is the best track in my opinion, it has the most flow and it's history is legendary. But racing in heavy rain on that track always ends in crashes. This crash didn't look like the track was at fault though, it was the driver getting rammed by another car at high speed that couldn't see through the spray.. a reminder that this is actually a dangerous sport. It's not bowling. It's not baseball it's hurtling around a ground track in airplanes
RIP
Agreed. It's insane they're not learning. Even Landos crash there should have been a wake up call. Not sure how many incidents it's gonna take for them to reasess
With modern tech and low latency video solutions and transmission of telemetry, how do we not have auto VSC procedures when an incident happens at key locations that are deemed high risk?
I haven't watched the footage but I saw a comment about drivers not lifting for seconds before the contact after the initial spin. Surely this is something that's fixable
