Final practice for the 2024 Belgian GP got underway in very wet conditions around Spa-Francorchamps, as the rain hit the circuit just minutes before the session started.

Ewout Albrecht5 months ago5 months ago06 mins

To state that Alpine had an abysmal British Grand Prix is an understatement. Having one car with enough penalties to line up in London, which subsequently had to withdraw after the formation lap due to gearbox issues was bad enough, but the other car then ending two laps down after fumbling the strategy took the…
