Race Notes | 2025 Belgian Grand Prix | Epi #134 | Spa’s Slow Burn: Rain Delays and a Grand Prix Short on Thrills

Dick and Sabrina share their honest reactions to a subdued 2025 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps—where early excitement quickly gave way to a forgettable afternoon. Oscar Piastri’s bold pass on Lando Norris set the tone, but little changed after the opening lap as a lengthy rain delay and processional racing drained the usual Spa drama.

• Was Hamilton’s remarkable charge from P16 to P5 a real turning point for his Ferrari adventure, or a rare bright spot in an otherwise dull race?
• Did the long rain hold and stalled broadcast reveal flaws in how F1 delivers the sport to fans whenever nature intervenes?
• How does Pierre Gasly continue to bring home results for Alpine amid team turmoil, and what does his professionalism mean for the squad’s future?

With candid notes, fan perspective, and a focus on the race’s few standout moments, Dick and Sabrina dig into why this year’s Belgian Grand Prix missed the mark, and what (if anything) fans can take away as F1 heads into its next chapter.
