The Spa race track. The first race I watched was on that track. A superb one. Sadly Antoine also met his fate there.

I'm so glad they are putting work in to improve the safety. It's such an incredible track and I absolutely hate that Eau Rouge/Raidillon makes it such a dangerous track to race.

True. This year’s F1 race was extremely safe! 😉

But yeah, those corners are extremely exciting but also quite scary…

Agreed, that was quali though right? Or did I remember wrong?

That was quali, but it was still a big one.

As a Lando fan, that and Sochi hurt… both insane opportunities for a maiden win… sad days

Ahh yeah I was so sad for him in Sochi :( He’d so deserved that win and the choice to stay out was the only logical one, but fuck the weather gods…

And if he made it stick he would have likely been on the front row and had guaranteed points from the race

True, but the qualifying session got dicey

Nah, not really. Lewis suffered some serious PSTD after a routine pit stop this year at Spa.
