Three days after the grotesque, F1 seems to have come to its senses and is studying, together with the promoter of the Belgian GP, a way to somehow compensate the spectators who endured all day in the rain to see two laps of the cars behind the safety car
"Following the impact of weather at the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday 29 August, Formula 1 and the promoter are working on various options for ticketed fans to express our appreciation and thank them for their dedication and commitment We will provide more details as soon as possible as we thank the fans for their continued support and passion for Formula 1," they said in a statement on Wednesday.
The outcry from drivers, teams, press and fans appears to have moved Liberty Media management to try to settle the grievance. It could be a discount for the 2022 race or a partial refund of the entry fee, although it is not yet specified how they want to articulate it.
