Firstly, an agreement was reached regarding how many points are awarded in the case of abandoned race. Last year’s Belgian Grand Prix was called off duty to rain after just two laps of a procession behind the safety car, with drivers awarded half points
That meant Max Verstappen, who qualified on pole at Spa Francorhamps, scored 12.5 points for winning a race which never really took place, giving him what ended up being a crucial mid-season points boost in an intense fight with Hamilton
New rules now state that points can only be awarded if at least two laps of ‘normal’ non-safety car running have been completed by the race leader 👍
If the Belgian GP were to be run again now, no driver would receive any points
So... what's the change?
Now that I'm not tied to a fire,
tl;dr They really are pissy Hamilton lost.
