Rubens pouring out blue-smoke, surely he'll pit.

Can it last 14km's in front of Rosberg & Webber..?

Yes!! Kimi wins, Fisico 2nd...what? :shock: Vettel 3rd and Rubens' engine survives the race with the leak.

Great race, really enjoyed it :)

Incredible, FI chasing Ferrari for win. P2 is great success too.

Congratulations! First points from P2. Bernie is sick to even think about dumping Belgian GP from the race calendar.

I hope Bernie have seen the race and will think at least twice before saying anything about taking out F1 from Spa.

congratulations to Kimi, Ferrari and, especially, Fisico and FI. nice to see BMW in good shape too.

KIMI....wow.....at last he wins again.

Congratulatiuons to Fisi & FI....their hard work have been paid off this week.

I consider Vettel to potentially be a points black hole...I fully expect him to blow up two more engines between now and season's end, and start racking up the grid penalties.

But that would mean ditching Massa...which would be an altogether shitty thing for them to do, given the situation. Only Massa being unable to race competitively again would give Ferrari justifiable cause to let him go.

I think Ferrari have backed themselves into a terrible spot now, if you believe the report that Alonso's already signed with 'em.

actually it looks that Alonso has done something with Ferrari....otherwise all these rumours could not last for such long time....

actually i dont care abt alonso move in ferrari....all i want kimi in ferrari for the next season. and i believe kimi is better than massa in terms of driving ability.... dont kill me for saying this....this is only my point of view.

Kimi passed 2 cars while off track after La Source, Ferrari get away with cheating again.. what's new?

Truilli ran up the back of Heifeld after turn 1, but it might have been Nick's "fault", he locked up going in and was really slow coming out.

Button looked like he was hit from behind and spun into Grosjean(who may have hit him initially)... Grosjean hit a couple cars in Turn 1, and he hit Badoer at the start last week... he is dangerous at the starts.

Lewis checked up to avoid the Button/Grosjean wreck and was ran up the back by ALG... too bad for us cause we didnt get to see Nicole all race.

Sutil hit Alonso at the start... but why couldnt they run without the wheel spats? Spa is not that heavy braking and it was pretty cold.

What the hell took them so long to put out RB's fire? Same thing happened in Brazil last year, one of the Hondas caught fire and the driver jumped out, it rolled back into Hamilton's car and he couldnt put the steering wheel back on. Strange

How do you feel now? :lol:
At least some people in this forum can shut up making wise cracks about Force India now.Its Kimi's 4th Belgian GP victory and Force India's first podium...and that too side by side the F60. WELL DONE!

Oh stop it.
The rule is that you cannot make up places. He had already passed the Toyotas. He did not fall behind or gain a position. So that's why it wasn't even investigated by the stewards. In addition, no one even complained to the stewards so that they would launch an investigation.
So, please, stop it with the Ferrari bashing. I know you know the rules so just stop it.

Anyway, good win by Kimi. Lucked out on the left side of the track at the start as everyone was going right.
Fisi was genuinely quick. I wonder if he'll make a run for the win at Monza in the FiF1 (unless he goes to Ferrari.)
