Up-and-coming driver Dilano van 't Hoff died in a crash at Spa last month, and four years ago F2 driver Anthoine Hubert lost his l🃏ife on the circuit that will again host the F1 Belgian Grand Prix this weekend.

Drivers arrived to Spa in wet weather with more rain predicted ♕for the days ꦜahead, meaning safety is at the forefront of their minds.

“There are some changes which would make a difference,” said 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc, who won his first F1 grand prix the day after Hubert’s death i🦄n 2019 and♋ dedicated the moment to him. 

“The walls after the straights, after🌱 Eau Rouge, we should have more space. If you lose control you bounce on the walls - this is a cha🌸nge to consider. 

“The two🅰 biggest problems? Visibility. It is difficult to put into words what we see. 

“We see nothing, we are not exagge🌟rating, when it is raining. This i𒀰s a big problem for motorsport in general. 

“Single-seaters have a lot of downforce, there is a lot of spray, and a lot of incidents.ღ It is difficult to find a solution.

“The last thing is; whe🎶n is it safe to start a race? This is another topic for the FIA to look at closely. To not feel the pressure of starting a race if we haven’t had any running.

“Us dr♌ivers should not complain if we don’t have any laps if it isn’t safe.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly, a friend of Hubert’s, will lead a run aro๊und the circuit in memory of the F2 dri👍ver and Dilano van 't Hoff.

"I'm someone that is emotional," said Gasly.

"I think I link places with emotions. I've had the worst emotions of my life here. But at the same time, it's𝄹 one of my favourite tracks, so it's very contradic🦂tory.

"I love this track, and I love racing t🔴his track, but at the same time I'll never forget what I felt going down these stairs when my parents told me the news.

"It's obviously tough, but I 𓆉accept the sport that we do, and it's things you have got ♌to live with. It's also life, as sad as it can be."

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz added: “We s𓄧hould be disciplined with safety. It is the No1 priority. If it’s not safe to run, we must find solutions with a Safety𓂃 Car. 

“But don’t fall into the pressure of running just to put on 🐓a show. If we can’t see, and it’s down to luck if we crash… I’m not a big fan of this. We must take the smart decision.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez said: “Visibil💯ity can be really poor. We are in the hands of the Race Direc♌tor - we will fully trust him.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kevin Magnussen: “It’s not easy to judge the conditions before sending the cars out. The spray from a Safety Car is not too bad but✱ then you send the Formula 1 cars out and it’s different. 

“The spray has become worse with𓂃 ground-effect cars, that’s an issue they’ve got to deal with.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas: “It i🐈s a safety issue. All the drivers have put this issue on the table and the FIA are working on it.”
