Drivers had the task of staying awake and active without draining themselves. So while some took a short nap, while others were occupied with football or chess. Lewis curled up in his solace- music.
When asked about how he spent the extra time, Lewis revealed his calming time off. “I was back in my room, listening to the new Kanye album. I was watching the weather, looking out of the window most of the time, just praying the thing would clear up so we could get going. Obviously, that time never came.”

The 27 track album would have easily kept Lewis busy for two hours. However, the rain never did stop, and Lewis had a lot to say about the two-lap “race” at the Belgian GP.

Lewis Hamilton disappointed in Belgian GP
Hamilton has said that he loves racing in the rain; Spa Francorchamps being one of his favorite and most thrilling circuits to race in. But more than for himself and the drivers, Hamilton felt for the fans. “I’m sure all of us love racing in the rain, especially here in Spa… I think just really disappointed for the fans. They stood out there for absolute hours in the rain, no covering in the grandstands.”

Regardless, Hamilton is open to the idea of returning to Belgium, even if the fans get a free race as compensation. ” I’d absolutely come back. I love it here so if there is a way we could find a window where it wasn’t raining and we give the fans a free race, that would be great.”
While it was sad to see the race canceled, surely everybody prioritized the safety of the drivers. It wasn’t the restart of the season we hoped for, but with the second race coming up, things may pick up. Till then, we listen to Donda and wait for Zandvoort.
