Jeremy Clarkson has delivered a 12-word message after the Belgian Grand Prix was delayed due to the weather conditions.

On Saturday afternoon, McLaren star Lando Norris stormed to pole position ahead of teammate Oscar Piastri and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.

However, on Sunday, the Belgian Grand Prix was delayed due to the heavy rain that fell on the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. The FIA were already forced to cancel a Formula 3 race earlier in the day because of the weather.

After the formation lap, the race was red-flagged and a delay of more than 40 minutes followed.

At the time, a frustrated Max Verstappen said on his team radio: "That’s a bit silly. We should just run, like chillax. Jesus. They’re way too cautious.

"And now the rain is coming, the heavy rain. It’s going to be a three-hour delay."

Eventually, at around 3:20pm, the race finally got underway behind the safety car.

However, the safety car was out for more than four laps, which led to frustrations from fans watching.

Taking to social media, former Top Gear and The Grand Tour host Clarkson was less than happy with the decision to keep the safety car out for so long.

He wrote: "Dear God in heaven. What is the race director at Spa doing?"

Clarkson, who is now the star of Amazon Prime Video's 'Clarkson's Farm' is a big F1 fan and is often spotted at different Grands Prix over the course of a season.

After the Belgian Grand Prix restarted, pole sitter Norris failed to keep his teammate behind as Piastri eased past him to take the lead.

Reacting on Sky Sports, ex-F1 driver Martin Brundle said: "Lando telegraphed that way too early and put himself at risk by having his team-mate with him, then got wheel spin out of La Source."
