Former Formula 1 Champion, Damon Hill has recently revealed his concern oer Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen indulging in another hefty collision at the Spa-Francorchamps during the Belgian Grand Prix on the coming weekend. The spoken about duo was involved in a majorly controversial collision at Silverstone which resulted in the Dutchman crashing over a speed of 150mph. 

Hill believes that both Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen need to show the Belgian Grand Prix circuit greater respect. Those who are not aware that two years ago a fatal accident in the Formula 2 race resulted in Anthoine Hubert’s demise. There is undoubtedly a greater risk at Spa-Francorchamps which the drivers need to be vary off at all cost.

“It’s another fast circuit like Silverstone,” said Damon Hill, speaking on the F1 Nation podcast. “They’ve already shown they’re not afraid to tangle at high speed, but Spa’s a whole other level of risk. It is a concern. I think if I was [FIA race director] Michael Masi, and I’d be in the drivers’ briefing for the weekend, I would be saying, ‘Listen guys, respect this place. It’s one of the fastest tracks we go to. We do not want to have any nasty episodes’.

Hill added, “Of course, we have had some nasty episodes not so long ago, in the F2 races.

“There is extra risk, especially if it’s wet. They’ve had plenty of issues recently with the rain, but wet races at Spa are not for the faint-hearted.” 

Having said that Hill has risen a brilliant point here as the Silverstone might be fast-paced like Spa-Francorchamps yet it is less dangerous. What drama unfolds as the 2021 F1 chapter re-commences remains to be seen.
