2025 F1 Thread

On race day, with tyre wear becoming a factor, I think VER is vulnerable to the McLarens dispute his straight line speed advantage.
However there’s a 64% chance of rain, so will VER’s low downforce set up negate his wet weather skills ?

I believe VER changed the setup for qualifying based on the forecast rain.
 
What happened to the F1 theme song for the opening titles?
If I'm not mistaken, that music was from the F1 film. No idea why it was being used for the opening title sequence here?

Edit: I was correct. It's Hans Zimmer's soundtrack from the film and this was apparently a planned "twist" from F1 for the Belgian GP.
