Title: F1 Belgium (possible spoiler)
Post by: albitz on 02 September 2012, 13:09:17
First corner - Oh dear !! ::) ;D
I think Grosjean may be up before the headmaster.

Agreed, but nobody wants to see a driver injured or worse if that incident had come to its worsed outcome. Nasty.

Grosjean had no intention of taking a line, he was blocking a driver already hard on the brakes, I thought. :-\

Had to be Lewis he took out. :(    Still, looks good for Jenson. :)

Kimi - round the outside of Scummy through eau rouge - gonads like water melons. :)

No thats true, much as I don't like him, I respect his ability to drive a difficult car this year, some real talent there. Good to see everyone walk away from a big smash like that.

Lewis was just squeezed out, Lewis should not have had to brake at that point.

Always very satisfying to see Schumi get passed for a position  :)

Its interesting how average he has been since having to drive a car built to the same rules as everyone else. ;)
Ive always rated Raikkonen very highly,but its been easy to overlook how good he is since he went away for a while.

Looked like he cocked up the exit to the hair pin to me. Just left Mika a chance down the hill.

Romain Grosjean given a one race ban  :o

It was his fault, but Schumi and others have done far worse  :-\

I disagree... It was the least they could do in reality ;) It could have been fatal ;)

Maldonado has a 10 place grid drop next race too ;)

Maldonardo gets so many penalties (rightly so imo) that he might as well not bother going out to qualify. ;D
Grosjean deserves what he gets imo. Not so much because of the possible consequences,but because of the fact that he actually interlocked his rear wheel with Hamiltons front,which is what caused Hamilton to spear off into someone else and cause a chain reaction.Thats the type of basic error which should have been drummed out of a driver long before they get anywhere near an F1 car.

Non of which is any help to the people he wiped off the track though. But that's racing. On to the next round.

Just watching the race again, as it happens to be on, and there some fantastic on board footage on lap 39. Williams loosing the back end all the way round a right hand bend. :y

Jensons been complaining about under steer all year iirc.

And was during practice.... if I have the order of events correct, they where then seen fixing a rear wing issue, and then he instantly stuck it on pole.

Rear wing may be a coincidence, but I have trouble understanding why it's taken Mclaren so long to sort the issue for him. :-\

I still maintain what I said to you at the start of the season... I still fancy Button to do well (although I admit, he might struggle to win now ::))

He was running a completely different rear wing to the last race (and to Hamilton, too, who chose the older wing)  :y

Interesting race. Shame we were denied the spectacle of at least two racers joining the fray. It would have been interesting to see Hamiltons now pulled facebook entry!

I never rated Raikkonen despite him obviously being competent enough. Today he showed brilliance. Tis only a matter of time before Lotus win a race. Shame Gross John blotted his copybook. Still Senna started off that way.
