Sebastian Vettel has won the Belgian GP in his usual dominant fashion, especially in the second half of the race. Mark Webber came in second, completing a perfect result for Red Bull. Jenson Button had a great drive to 3rd while Alonso finishes a solid fourth.
Nah, they'll do a 2 - 3 lap run to bring the temperatures up, and there's a clear dry line.flynfrog wrote:might be a little early for slicks me thinks
watch the replay hamilton hit his side pod when we turned in.myurr wrote:
Please don't. There can be no question that Hamilton has done absolutely nothing wrong. Maldonado was trying to back off from the pack and get a clean lap in which obstructed Lewis's lap. Lewis went for an overtake and made it past, with Pastor turning in to him on the apex despite Hamilton already being ahead.
Then on the run down to Eau Rouge Maldonado so clearly ran across the bows of the McLaren miles off line. Totally deliberate.
you mean when Hamilton turned into him.myurr wrote: Hamilton was on his quick lap and had the racing line. Maldonado *deliberately* steered into and deliberately damaged another car. No question, that's a DQ in my mind.
take off your silver glassesWe're not talking about that move. After that lap was complete and on the run down to Eau Rouge Maldonado then decided to chop across the nose of Hamilton on the opposite side of the track from the racing line, damaging both cars.gridwalker wrote:Hamilton moved into a gap : Maldonado tried closing the door on him ... that was a perfectly acceptable move, in both my eyes and those of the FIA.

We're talking about both moves ... Check the preceding post mate : Kov and Bar weren't involved in the sideswipe, but they were involved in the incident beforehand.myurr wrote:We're not talking about that move.

if you look at a race thread from a few weeks ago the same people defending hamilton now are the same ones that thought button should move out of the way to let him through. Its just fun to get them all worked up. In reality both can be blamed here Maldo pushed hammy wide hammy turned down into him give them both a slap on the wrist and move on.ell66 wrote:i cant believe people are actually blaming hamilton? maldonado pulled up right next to him forcing lewis to move, then as he drove pat he just swiped him. the incident at the end of their flying laps was just racing due to kova and rubens fightin with each other.
This comment was about before the flag ... this is getting confusingflynfrog wrote:are you talking about before or after the flaggridwalker wrote:Hamilton moved into a gap : Maldonado tried closing the door on him ... that was a perfectly acceptable move, in both my eyes and those of the FIA.
