The rain of past GP of Belgium of F1 And the time and 20 minutes of delay for the start of the water race that was on the track revived the debate of recent years about the impossibility of groceries on wet.
The problem in SPA franccocamps It was that of visibility, together with the greatest danger of this track, especially in the rise of Red water y el raidillona pronounced ascent that becomes a river in which, in addition, it goes thoroughly, at a lot of speed, at a very dangerous point where it is easy to get out of the track, bounce in the protections and that a car stays in the center of the track, with a high probability of being rammed by another. That is one of the most dangerous accidents in the current F1, than two cars so hard and safe, they crash between them, with one of them hitting a lot of speed over another one that is stopped.
That is what happened to Anthoine Hubert in F2 in 2019 in Spa-Francorchampsbeing rammed by Juan Manuel Correa. The young Frenchman died after that impact and therefore, his great friend Pierre Gasly, who was almost like a brother for Anthoine, wanted to remember that, on paths such as Spa, it is important to extreme precautions, rather than in other types of tracks.
“We can't complain”
The majority of pilots consider that the FIA was too conservative when waiting for an hour and 20 minutes to give the outstanding, already with the track with many dry areas after 4 laps behind the security car and that the race had to start quite before. But Pierre defended the career of career.
“It is always easier to explain why you have been too conservative than explain why you have put the pilots in dangerous situations,” Gasly commented on Thursday.
“In Silverstone, we saw a pilot collided with another car for not seeing where I was going, what for me has nothing to do with the races. We want to see overtaking. We want to see skills on wet track, not a race that is decided in case you see what happens two meters in front of your car. In spa, before the weekend, the FIA told us that they would probably be more conservative knowing what had happened in Silverstone (where the pilots They complained that the security car left too late after the start of the rain) and knowing the history of the circuit. Were they conservative? Yes. Can we complain that they were conservatives? I don't believe it. Can we work with them to help them make a little more precise decisions and improve the show and track driving in these conditions? Of course, “said Alpine's pilot In the official press conference of the FIA on Thursday in Hungary.
“I am sure that we will talk to him at the pilot meeting and in the next race they will do it even better and we will find the right adjustment. I don't think it's fair to say they have done a bad job. It is understandable. This time they were more cautious. We will work on it. The pilots want to pilot on wet. We don't care. It is always exciting. But you don't want to end up in a situation where you see anything and you end up colliding in the middle of Kemmel's line and having another incident that you have to explain to another family. There is a very fine line and we will work on it with the FIA. I'm sure he will improve with time, “Gasly concluded with a reflection with a clear memory in what happened to his friend Hubert.
