It was high risk every time they got into those cars without the safety systems they have in place now but look how the present cars have grown to twice the size.

It was more like a fight to keep the cars on track ... The Belgian driver Jacky Ickx said : When I think back at the dangerous risks that I took , It's actually a miracle that I survived it ! Personal I drove often with my ///M on these roads from in the videos at Spa-Francorchamps , It's really amazing over there in the Belgian Ardennes . It's on my planning for in September to let my S65 scream again !

Whoever in some office wanted to get rid of Spa as a GP circuit ought to be named and shamed. Spa is the longest track out of all of them at a whisker over 7 kms.

Spa is a fantastic old track but was lacking in some safety aspects. When I was living in Bitburg area I would venture there to see F1 as well as Hockemheim/Nurburg depending on the year.

True that it was very ambitious of Bellof to try this tricky maneuver on his very experienced main rival, in the most daunting section of the circuit (actually, one of the most daunting sections of any circuit worldwide), in front of the rival's home audience. The ingredients for a crash were present - the tension between Ickx and Bellof was palpable. The tailgating lasted only three laps. It ended with a drama, claiming the life of likely the most talented race driver of Germany since decades. Maybe part of the answer is that Bellof fearlessly pushed the envelope too hard when racing. Flirting with the thin line separating 'on the limit' from 'over the limit', close to the edge of recklessness. If the 'elbows out' overtaking maneuver by Bellof at Eau Rouge had been successful, it would have been considered 'big balls'. OK, he would neither have been the first nor the last to overtake on the left at Eau Rouge, but the 'youngster' trying to outfox Ickx in his 'backyard', was like a war declaration - things got too personal. Throughout his long racing career, Ickx witnessed many race drivers perish in crashes. Back in the day, way too many tragic accidents happened. I believe to recall an interview where Ickx said that he was very lucky to have survived his racing career. By the way, the age difference between Ickx and Bellof was 13 years. The age difference between Hamilton and Verstappen is 12 years. Beware with aggressively challenging a main rival at his home race. Eau Rouge: German documentary:

There's just absolutely no discussion or debate. Spa-Francorchamps is the greatest race track of all time.

How did Rao who used to work for Wolff get into FIA ah of course with tots influence, immediately she tipped of Merc about an anti bounce measure and the floor measuring contraption being implemented at Spa is only a 'proposal' what a laugh, cheats never prosper.
Most of the teams are against what she has done undoing all their millions of dollars work for '23 and she should leave as quickly as she joined. https://www.newsonf1.com/2022/06/fia...ff-ecclestone/ |
