Ackshually this is only true for every team except Williams. When Vowles said that their tech was 20 years out of date, he was actually referring to the fact that they are still secretly using a V10, eliminating the ability for them to brake using KERS.

Before the pedants say, “ackshually, Formula One uses disc brake, not drum brakes”, I am aware. Thanks.

Not much to say aside from agreeing with Lance here. Motorsports will always be high risk but it’s a matter of mitigation. It’s insane that they resumed the race in those conditions and it’s insane that no meaningful changes have been made to these corners since Anthoine’s death. There have been other legendary corners at Spa that were revised due to driver deaths, so something new needs to be considered here. I don’t know if the 1994 chicane layout makes a ton of sense, but they need to find something.

Edit: After reading more, I really also want to emphasize just how badly race control fucked up here. Safety car for 15 minutes in cold weather and driving rain…and then giving the green light with a single lap to end the race? Anyone that thinks that is a reasonable idea is insane. There is absolutely no time for tires to come to temperature and even if there was, I still feel that racing Spa in significant rain/spray conditions is just dumb.
