I mentioned Raidillon in the rain... 🏎️💥

I said Verstappen and Hamilton went flat out that day, but that was a little bit of poetic licence. I bet they were actually being pretty cautious. But maybe Lance Stroll was reading my reminiscences? Today he took the same corner too fast in practice in the rain.

If you watch his hands, almost immediately he's sawing the steering back and forth to try to regain control. It doesn't work. Also notice at the beginning how little track you can see. It's a blind crest on a bend. He wants to stay flat out because there's a long straight ahead. But he's forgotten that it's only a practice session so the lap times don't really matter. Getting more practice is more important. His team are going to have to mend that before qualifying this afternoon.
