Now raining. What a fantastic Q2. So pleased for #NOR and #RUS. Get in there!!! #BelgianGP
We’re back in our spot for Qualifying. Just been watching the Safety Car do a few laps to check the situation. It’s wet but no longer raining. Quali starts at 15:12 local time. #BelgianGP
Might not see it on camera but there is a lot of standing water on the P2 and P4 grid spots. If it’s wet tomorrow that’ll be a huge disadvantage. #BelgianGP
Of course, the group shot too. Thank you to the random Frenchman who took this for us. #BelgianGP
Loving this picture. Brief interlude in the rain. Now it’s absolutely pouring down 😂🌧 I got a very wet bottom for this!! #BelgianGP
Underway in FP3. Lewis topping the board today, all cars seem to be out on Inters. No rain, just light mizzle. #BelgianGP #HAM
We’ll done to LORENZO COLOMBO on the #Formula3 race win. Especially with the tricky conditions. Here crossing the line!! #BelgianGP
Enjoying the wet #Formula3 race, track is still very damp. No incidents so far. We’re enjoying Jupiler today, which for some reason is red! Cool bag for beers was a very good idea. 🍻 #BelgianGP
So after three formation laps the #Formula3 race has been suspended. It’s very wet! #BelgianGP All cars now in the pit lane.
Getting ready for the start of the first #Formula3 race. Most are on full wet tyres, although the rain has stopped, at least on the pit straight. #BelgianGP
For anyone that needs to know, the track commentary is broadcast on FM 76MHz. #BelgianGP which doesn’t seem to be in English 🇧🇪
Getting into the track was a bit different today. COVID check gate didn’t check ID and then the 2nd gate didn’t check ID either. Bit naughty, but hey. Bag check at 2nd was a very quick look. May have been relaxed because of the rain 🌧. No queue at all essentially. #BelgianGP
Good morning Spa! It’s raining quite a lot here. But we’re still making the most of it. Queue looks a bit shorter because we got here earlier 👍 Just heading to the COVID gate #BelgianGP
That’s a wrap for today. Very exhausting, walked 15kms, 19k steps. Managed the whole track, took a bit of navigating. Highlight was #Max spinning out. Great fun! #BelgianGP
We’ve made it to that famous hill ☺️ Little bit of falling over, it’s steeper than it looks!! Now watching the cars fly round during P2. Having a fantastic time! #BelgianGP
Now at the Verstappen zone at Turn 11 (basically all fans here are Max fans), this is where the party is at for sure 😂 #BelgianGP
Food and drink situation is that you buy tokens/coins on a rechargeable card (which you have to buy). €50 buys you 20 coins. A 50cl beer is 2.4 coins (€6), 33cl is 1.6. Steep, but not insane crazy. All cans, although some spots have draft. All Heineken. #BelgianGP
Had a stroll down to turn 14. Watching the W series now that P1 has finished. Very drizzly and rainy. Having a pint and enjoying the walk, track is HUGE! #BelgianGP
And we’re in! Seats are great! #BelgianGP
Second gate is ticket and bag check. Validating name on ticket with ID. #BelgianGP
COVID vaccine/test check is happening at the first gate, which is good. People being turned away if they don’t have it all prepared. #BelgianGP
In the queue for the track. Taking a little while… hopefully we’ll be in soon! #BelgianGP
Here is the COVID testing, which is a big marquee full of unorganised teenagers in bunny suits. No signage for this at all and there was basically nobody else there, very odd. Results arrived by email overnight. €80/PCR, paid for 2, 1 for now, 1 before we go home. #BelgianGP 🦠
For anyone wondering exactly where we are, here’s the boundary of the Yellow Camping. There’s portable toilets, showers and a permanent hall used as a bar/cafe. Short 20min walk to the track along a tarmac footpath. All very well organised (unlike the COVID testing) #BelgianGP
Morning from Spa. Good sleep last night, tent was perfect. Just enough space and my bag kept me plenty toasty. Many more people carried on arriving last night so it’s getting busier here in Yellow. PCR test was negative! 👍 #BelgianGP Tea, breakfast then heading to the track.
