F1 Digest - Belgium Free Practice - A rain-hit Spa delivers a slow start to Friday practice
Published by Christine
Obviously it was wet in Spa, it always is, and the drivers struggled their way round two free practice sessions. Tune in to F1 Digest for a full round up of proceedings.
Free Practice 1
A slow start to the day, although we've seen worse, gave way to some pretty slippery laps and no major incidents. The laptimes weren't particularly outstanding, and I don't think anyone learnt anything from this session.
Free Practice 2
The predicted rain meant things got going very quickly, but the inactivity once the weather hit balanced it out a bit. Plenty of incidents as well, with many drivers meeting the barriers.
Conclusions
It seems like the majority of drivers had a pretty bad day. Normally they say it was okay and they feel like they're making progress. Today wiped out everything we already knew, and we'll start afresh again tomorrow.
