Max Verstappen’s Fiery Reaction to Red Flag in Belgian Grand Prix Is Drawing Attention originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Belgian Grand Prix got off to a dramatic start Sunday, but not in the way fans were hoping. Right after the formation lap, the race was red-flagged due to what officials called unsafe conditions on the track.

While a cautious approach was the safer option at Spa, another element loomed in the air: the future of wet-weather racing

New Red Bull Racing CEO and team principal Laurent Mekies has highlighted how Formula One's governing body, the FIA, delayed the Belgian Grand Prix race start to avoid a wet race. While he acknowledged that the delay was for safety reasons, the decision left Red Bull at a disadvantage, as its car was set up for a wet race.
