While fans around the world eagerly waited for the Belgian Grand Prix, rain at Spa-Francorchamps delayed the start by a significant period. However, Sebastian Vettel continued to entertain fans by engaging in various activities in the paddock.

During the prolonged delay, the German took to a football game against his compatriot Mick Schumacher.

The Belgian Grand Prix initially had a start time of 3:00pm local time. However, torrential rain and treacherous track conditions saw repeated delays in the race’s start. Although a formation lap did take place, the FIA suspended start procedures owing to poor visibility.

As rain continued to pour, all 20 drivers left their cars in the pit lane and took to passing time in the paddock. Almost all those activities took up real estate on social media, with Vettel‘s game against Schumacher featuring among them.

Along with them, both drivers called on one of their team members to play with them. They used racks as goals and a small, light ball to kick around. Although Haas led Aston Martin 8-6 when they posted the tweet, the final score remains for the fans to speculate.
