F1 returns from its summer break, and as always, a lot has happen during the sport’s “silly” season with Daniel Ricciardo announcing that’ll he be leaving McLaren at the end of the season.
Alpine’s Alonso will be Aston Martin’s Alonso in 2023 in something of a shock move, while no driver seems all that interested in driving for Alpine, with Oscar Piastri looking to jump ship from Alpine to take Ricciardo’s place.
There’s likely to be plenty happening on the track at Spa this weekend, with the new Technical Directives (TD) closing a loophole in the rules regarding the floor that could affect, or may not have an effect on some cars, if you believe certain people. Rumors abound of Mercedes bringing a game-changing upgrade to the race, while Red Bull and Ferrari will again be locking horns at the historic track, as the Italian looks to claw back the points it has lost in an uneven first half of the season.
With weather forecasted for this weekend’s race, it looks like the playing could be leveled during qualifying and the race. Last year’s rain affected race led to George Russell in the Williams putting in a blinder, if similar conditions occur this weekend, who will be able to take advantage?
