Van’t Hoff’s death stopped the formula world.
The situation that led to death was reminiscent of Anthoine Hubert’s accident from 2019. At that time, Hubert violently hit the railing in almost the same place and died.
William Alatalo told Iltalehte earlier on Saturday that the Eau Rouge in question is a difficult place even in dry weather. The aforementioned mass crash occurred in the Raidillon bend following the climb.
– I myself was recently coaching F4 drivers in Spa, and there was a big crash at that point. Something about that part of the track is that it always hurts and happens, Alatalo said.
Alatalo also said that at worst visibility is zero in the rain in Spa.
– If I had been the race organizer, I could have put things in order for a while. There was so much water and Spa is always dangerous when it rains, Alatalo said.
