Hamilton and Verstappen question race delay as others back FIA
SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium, July 27 (Reuters) - Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen questioned race control's handling of the rain-delayed Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday as rival drivers commended Formula One's governing body for putting safety first. The race at Spa-Francorchamps was delayed for an hour and 20 minutes as officials waited for rain to stop and conditions to dry out. The safety car then led the field for four laps before a rolling start. "I think we could have started way sooner, that's not ideal," Red Bull's four times world champion Verstappen told reporters, adding that in the end there had been very little racing in the wet. Hamilton, who went from the pit lane to seventh, said he did not think the rolling start was necessary. "I don't really know why they did that one, because it had dried up quite a lot and the spray wasn't that bad," added the Briton. The high-speed Spa circuit is the longest lap on the calendar and weather conditions can be treacherous. It also has a tragic past. French Formula Two driver Anthoine Hubert died in a crash at the 2019 Belgian Grand Prix at the exit of Raidillon, at the top of the famed Eau Rouge, while Dutch teenager Dilano van't Hoff died in a junior series crash in 2023. The list is much longer when the sport's distant past is considered. "I think the past few years, particularly here, we've given the FIA feedback that we would much rather be on the safe side than risk anything," said McLaren's race winner and championship leader Oscar Piastri. "I think that's what we did today. If you were to be picky, maybe we could have done one less formation lap. But in the grand scheme of things, if that's one lap too early, is it worth it? No." Ferrari's third-placed finisher Charles Leclerc, whose family friend Jules Bianchi suffered fatal injuries in a crash at the rain-hit 2014 Japanese Grand Prix, agreed. "On a track like this with what happened historically, I think you cannot forget about it. For that reason, I'd rather be safe than too early," he said. "Maybe it was a little bit on the late side, but I wouldn't have changed anything." Williams' Carlos Sainz, who started near the back and would have suffered in the spray, supported race control. "In a normal track, yes, I think we could have started maybe 5-10 minutes earlier. In Spa-Francorchamps and the history of this track, it's better safe than sorry," said the Spaniard.

French submarine-maker targeted by hackers
A French naval giant is investigating a potential cyber attack after hackers claimed to have obtained sensitive data about the country's nuclear submarines. Naval Group, a state-owned ship maker that traces its origins back almost 400 years to the reign of Louis XIII, said it had 'immediately launched technical investigations' after cyber criminals threatened to publish files on the dark web. The company builds and maintains key ships and submarines for the French Navy, including aircraft carriers and nuclear-powered submarines. These include France's Barracuda fleet of nuclear missile-armed submarines. In a post on a dark web forum, hackers claimed to have uncovered 'top-secret classified' data for 'submarines and frigates'. Hackers gave the company 72 hours to respond to the leak, with initial documents published online allegedly including source code for submarine weapon systems. The attackers have so far published around 30 gigabytes of data, although they claim to have far more information still to be disclosed. Naval Group has responded by insisting it had found 'no intrusion into our IT environments', and described it as a 'reputational attack'. A spokesman said: 'Naval Group has noticed being the target of a reputational attack with the claim of a cyber-malice act. We immediately launched technical investigations. 'All teams and resources are currently mobilised to analyse and verify the authenticity, origin and ownership of the data as quickly as possible. 'At this stage, no intrusion into our IT environments has been detected and there has been no impact on our activities.' The alleged hack comes amid a wave of cyberattacks against companies and governments. Last week, Microsoft admitted to a major flaw in its SharePoint document-sharing system, which is believed to have been exploited by hackers with links to China. Among the organisations targeted were the US National Nuclear Security Administration, which maintains America's nuclear arsenal, although no sensitive files were reported to have been taken. Naval Group is France's largest shipbuilder, employing more than 15,000 people with revenues of more than €4.4bn. The French government owns almost two-thirds of the business, with he remainder owned by Thales, the French defence giant.

Lewis Hamilton criticises delayed start to Belgian GP – but team bosses side with FIA
Lewis Hamilton believes the Belgian Grand Prix should have resumed earlier after a cautious approach from the FIA amid wet conditions at Spa-Francorchamps. After an 80-minute delay due to a heavy downpour, the race restarted with four laps behind the safety car, despite the track drying rapidly in most areas. The 44-lap grand prix begun with a rolling start, rather than the usual standing start and seven-time world champion Hamilton believed race control compensated for the last race at Silverstone, where a crash occurred due to lack of visibility in the rain. 'We started the race a little bit too late, I would say,' said Hamilton, who started in the pit-lane and finished seventh to conclude a wretched weekend. 'I kept shouting 'it's ready to go, it's ready to go'. They kept going round and round. So, I think they're probably overreacting from the last race, where we asked them not to restart the race too early, because the visibility was bad. 'I think this weekend they just went a bit too much the other way, because we didn't need a rolling start.' 'My car was set up for that [rain], they waited for it to dry pretty much. They definitely could have done a standing start, especially at the end there, because it was almost a dry line. There was hardly any spray.' Max Verstappen agreed with Hamilton, calling the delay 'silly' over team radio. However, Hamilton's boss at Ferrari, team principal Fred Vasseur, thought race director Rui Marques was correct to err on the side of caution, particularly given past crashes in the rain at Spa. 'The spray is coming from the floor, there is nothing we can do,' he said. 'The limitation is not the grip, the limitation is visibility. The helmet camera shows it, you can understand in this situation that they see absolutely nothing. 'Remember what happened in Silverstone with the crash, this is the most dangerous. We can't blame them, we would be the first one to give them s*** if something happened. 'I was comfortable in respecting their decision because they have a huge responsibility.' McLaren team principal Andrea Stella, whose drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris led home another one-two finish for the runaway leaders, also concurred with the FIA's decision-making. 'I think today the race was managed in a very wise way by the FIA,' he said. 'We knew there was a lot of rain coming. Delaying the race allowed us to race in wet conditions and we went into dry. We didn't even know how long the dry race would've been. 'I think from our position we always praise the work of the FIA when this is deserved and this is one of the cases.'
