Video summary

Welcome to F1 Grandstand — I’m Tony Craig, and if you’re an F1 fan looking for real analysis, raw opinions, and the biggest stories from the paddock, you’re in the right place. Tonight at 19:30, we’re diving deep into the storm that’s taken over the world of Formula 1 — not just the one above Spa-Francorchamps, but the one inside the paddock after the 2025 Belgian GP. ⸻ 🚨 Show Topic: Are FIA Killing Wet Races in F1? Max Verstappen is furious. Lewis Hamilton is frustrated. George Russell is Happy. And fans? Many are asking — is this the death of F1 wet racing? ⸻ 🧵 What We’re Covering Tonight: 🗣️ Verstappen’s Post-Race Fury: “You’ll never see classic wet races anymore.” Max blames the FIA and cautious drivers for delaying the start and ruining what should’ve been a true test of skill in tough conditions. 🎙️ Lewis Hamilton’s Honest Reaction: “I kept shouting, it’s ready to go!” From P18 to P7 and Driver of the Day, Hamilton still said the FIA overreacted. He says we could’ve had a standing start and real racing. 🔍 George Russell Adds a counter argument: As GPDA director, George warns of dangerous visibility and tragic history at Spa. His call: “Right decision—but painful for racers.” 🕯️ A Sobering Reminder: We remember the lives lost in recent Spa tragedies: • Anthoine Hubert (2019) • Dilano van ’t Hoff (2023) Safety comes first — but is caution now overruled by fear? 💭 The Bigger Question: Are we losing the magic of underdog wet-race chaos? • Button in Canada 2011 — P21 to P1 • Hill in Belgium 1998 — surprise win for Jordan Will fans ever see those legendary moments again? ⸻ 🧩 Have Your Say Do YOU agree with Max, Lewis, OR George? Is the FIA protecting drivers or over-sanitizing the sport? Do new-school drivers have the same wet-race skill as the legends? ⸻ 👉 Join me LIVE at 19:30 for the full round-up, debate, and your chance to get involved in the chat. 👍 Like 💬 Comment your thoughts 🔔 Subscribe & hit the bell to stay updated with F1 Grandstand ⸻ #F1 #Formula1 #F12025 #BelgianGP #SpaFrancorchamps #LewisHamilton #MaxVerstappen #GeorgeRussell #FerrariF1 #RedBullRacing #MercedesF1 #F1News #F1WetRace #FIA #F1Debate #F1Drivers #F1Grandstand
