Theres Finally An Update For This Years Belgian GP Ticket Holders

With so many fantastic races in 2021, there remains one that we still don’t like to think about: the Belgian Grand Prix *shudders*. Held in late August, the race was a total washout and tapped the record for the shortest F1 race ever, and all that was without a wait of hours for some laps overdue a safety car. What a joke.

It made us F1 fans mad, watching from a loftiness in our homes, so we really felt for those sitting in the pouring rain waiting for some kind of update. Without completing a short loftiness overdue the safety car – conveniently just unbearable laps to ribbon half points – the race was cancelled and wouldn’t resume.

Drivers weren’t shy of speaking their mind on the whole thing, with Lewis Hamilton saying how sorry he felt for the fans and that he really hoped they got their money back.

Well, now it’s been revealed what kind of bounty the fans will receive, and it’s not a refund.

Instead, each ticket holder will receive an F1TV pass, a special invite to an ‘exclusive event’ on the Thursday of next year’s Belgian Grand Prix and be entered into a prize yank to win one of 170 tickets to next year’s race. It’s unscientific that virtually 75,000 fans shepherd the Spa-Francorchamps spin each day on a race weekend, so those tickets won’t exactly go far.

The grandstand seats are only misogynist for Sunday’s ticket holders and offer an upgrade on what they had this year. So there are 100 silver grandstand seats for statue ticket holders, 50 gold grandstand seats for silver ticket holders, and 20 VIP seats for gold ticket holders for this year’s race.

We know F1 is an outdoor event; rain happens and impacts the racing. However, the way the ‘race’ at Spa was handled makes it a real low point of the season ?

Should F1 fans have been given a refund for the Belgian Grand Prix this year? Let us know in the comments below.
