    Belgian Grand Prix

    Did anyone watch this today? 2 absolute fantastic drivers today Jenson from 13th to a superb 3rd and Michael Schumacher from 24th to FANTASTIC 5th - for me his best race since his come back. Jenson got driver of the day but for me only one person and he was driving a merc!! If I wasnt so busy at work I would love to have gone to watch this. Who else is a fan of formula 1 and what did you think of todays events at the Spa!

      Was a good race though and a brilliant drive from both Jenson and Schuey.

      I cannot wait to do a trackday there next year, that track looks awesome and fast !

        Apart from the s2...i live breathe and work F1!

        Was a brilliant race...there are so many 'what ifs' about it. Button could have been on the top step if it wasn't for all that 1st corner commotion. Senna disappointed me a little, i expect more after his solid qualifying. Schumy definitely proved he's still got it. MGP are way off with their car at the moment...still...and to get up to 5th was an incredible drive.

        I am going to Spa next year...there is nothing going to stop me!

        bring on Monza!

          Another race where Hamilton didnt finish - he doesn't have the consistency

              was it me or did he seem unconscious after the first impact?

                We thought that too, they played it down when asked I believe.

                  I don't think you can blame him for that crash. Looked more like a deliberate T-bone to me.

                    That *would* explain why Lewis didn't use the brakes before hitting the tire barrier. To be honest, I was shocked that he didn't just keep driving after the nose cone absorbed the first hit and the car popped back, rolling parallel to the track. He must have been out because the car just rolled on into the tire barrier instead. Too bad, he might have been up there with Jensen at the end.

                      Granted he was unlucky on this occasion its just annoying a driver as good as Hamilton he should be pushing Vettel all the way at the moment Vettel is in cruise control and thats nothing against Vettel either who is world class again this season

                        If you watch carefully...neither driver puts any driver inputs in. Both just driving straight apart from lewis drifting across the track.

                        2 arguments...hamilton should have given more space...or kobabashi should have realised there was no point trying round the outside and pulled out of it!

                          Been really into the F1 the last couple of seaons as its been pretty exciting, especially this season with the Pirellis.
                          Great drives from Jensen & Schumy. Not that surprised MGP were quick, they've had really strong straight line speed and low speed traction all season, but crap aero. They will be quick at Monza too I think.
                          Not sure there was anything to the Hamilton / Kobayashi impact to be fair, they both though they had more track than they did. If anything Kobayashi should have yielded as he was always going to run out of road.
                          And of course its always good to see Alonso & Ferrari failing

                              incredibly! MGP always get good launches but i think Rosberg was actually the only driver to hit the apex of turn one and it gave him the best drive down through eau rouge!
