After a summer break, 2021's F-1 races will resume this weekend in Belgium.  This will be the beginning of the 2nd half of the 2021 season!

Per local TV Guide, thee will be live TV coverage of the Belgium GP at 0855.

Although the TV Guide mis-led us numerous times in 2021, however, I feel this time it could be right because there is NO popular north American sports activities at that time, so most likely, we will see the first F-1 GP for the2nd half of the 2021 season.

Please note 0855 is the rolling start for drivers to warm up their engines and tires, the race will start at 0900 +/-. If you want to see drivers elbowing for position at the first corner, better switch on your TV shortly before 0855!

The Qualifying session of 2021's Belgium F-1 GP has finished.

Here is the drama:

Norris who led after Q1 & Q2, crashed right after Q3 started &  in heavy rain.
When Q3 finally resumed, the leaders are:  Max, Russel, & Hamilton.
The three are the rain master.  Since Russel's car is much slower than MB & RB's & yet he qualified in 2nd place, so I will rank the Rain Master as Russel, Hamilton, & Max.

Tomorrow's race might be a race in the rain which would be very interesting for the top 3 qualifiers!

What a disappointment!

It kept raining while I sat in front of the TV for 3+ hours and of course thousands of ticket-paying fans waited in the rain as well, when day light was running out, the cars were allowed to go out, but follow the official car for two laps to qualify it as a race, & the top ten cars received 1/2 of the usual points, and the race came to an end!

The 2021 Dutch F-A GP has just finished.

It was Max, Hamilton, then Bottas in that order.

IMHO, a rather boring race - an incident free first corner & first lap, then to be followed by a procession.  Red Bull is STILL faster than MB since start of the 2021 session.  MB has improved but not enough to close the gap.

According to race commentators, George Russel will join MB next year as per my forecast while Bottas will join Alfa Romeo which is his best options because all competitive cars' ride have been locked in1
