FIA confirms regulations to be reviewed after F1’s Belgian GP debacle

Torrential rain meant the race didn’t take place, with two laps behind the Safety Car used by the FIA to deter🎉mine the final result.
Max Versta⭕ppen was classified🌺 as the winner ahead of George Russell, who claimed his maiden F1 podium.
With half points ha💛nded out, it allowed Verstappen to reduce Lewis Hamiltons’ lead to just three points ahead of F1’s return to ▨the Netherlands.
The Frenchman confirmed that th𒅌e FIA will review the regulations after a number of issues cropped up throughout the weekend.
“This year’s Belgian Grand Prix presented extraordinarܫy challenges,” Todt said in a statement ﷽released on social media.
“The weather windows predicted by the forecasters did not appear throughout the day, and while a small window did appear late in the day during which there ꦆwas an attempt to start the race, conditions quickly worsened again.
“Therefore, due to the lack of visibility created by the spray behind the cars, we could not run the full race in sufficiently safe conditions for the drivers,𝓰 marshals as well as the brave spectators who waited f💦or many hours in the rain, for whom I am very sorry.
“The FIA, together with For🥂mula 1 and the teams, will carefully review the regulations to see what can be learned and improved for the future.
“The findings, including 🐭the topic of points allocation, will be added to the agenda of the next F1 Commi🐓ssion meeting on October 5.”
