Columbus, OH

This weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix at the legendary Spa Francorchamps, loathe as I am to admit it, was a pretty damn good Formula 1 race. George Russell went extremely long on a set of hard tires, running a one-stop strategy that nobody thought was viable, and it paid off (until it didn’t.) No single driver, or indeed team, was head-and-shoulders above the competition like in basically every other race this year. Belgium was the best race of the season, by a long shot. Until George Russell received a disqualification caused by that very same strategy. Hoist with his own petard, as it were.
