HAM and MAL will go on a fishing trip, and Button will pull the boat.
What where McLaren thinking????????????????????

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.
I wouldn't call that clean they did touch but no. Im saying the game of chicken him and maldo played should result in a stern talking to and a strongly worded letter.beelsebob wrote:You're claiming that Hamilton overtaking cleanly, on his fast lap should warrant a penalty?flynfrog wrote:watch the video they hit on the exit of a corner im not going to draw you a diagram.beelsebob wrote: Uhhh, which corner are they in – they're on the straight between LaSource and Eau Rouge!
agree completely. But I will say that when Pastor Maldodumass came up to the side Lewis should have hit the brakes instead holdong it on and playing chicken with an idiot who has nothing to lose. Maldonado shouldn't be allowed to start the race, but Parc Ferme' should apply to Lewis still.raymondu999 wrote:I think the important thing is that on entry Lewis was clean (not in contact).

And yet week in week out you continue to spout bollox and accuse everyone else of being fanbois. You really need to get a grip.flynfrog wrote:I like Hamilton most of his fans however....gridwalker wrote: I'm the one who called for Maldonado's license to be revoked and I'm no Hamilton fan, believe me. Maldonado was the one overtaking, the session was over and MAldonado was under no compunction to start on that set of tyres : there was no reason for him to be anywhere near that close to Hamilton or the racing line, full stop.
Sometimes the dislike of Hamilton can have exactly the same effect on post quality as fanboyism, so I think people should stop trying to justify what was a reckless and outright dangerous manoeuvre.
Like I said both drivers need an ego check but not there license pulled.
Despite on this he took the second place on the grid that is It IS a written rule : the steward's discretion allowance has been around since the first time the 107% rule was used, to allow for exceptional circumstances.flynfrog wrote:this is not a written rule just a guess by me they tend to do it when a popular driver doesn't make the 107%Sebp wrote:Ah, ok.

The rules will apply and as always will allow changing of broken or damaged parts with the FIAs permission. Most teams actually change a list of parts between quali and the race every race weekend - it's a myth that they can't work on the cars.Pierce89 wrote:agree completely.

No it does not. The video shows Hamilton following the curve of the track (equidistant from the left hand side at all times), whereas Maldonado moves from right to left absolutely miles off the racing line (which is to hug the right hand side).CHT wrote:Video does show Hamilton running into Maldonado. I am sure the steward will be looking at the telemetry to see if Lewis does purposely turn into Maldonado
Vettel was the whole weekend very fast in S1 and S3, right the opposite of Mark Webber who was alle the way fast through S2. I bet they are on different setups.raymondu999 wrote:What REALLY caught me out is Vettel (I think) was faster in S1 and S3 than Hamilton; and slower in S2.

Agree, which does explain some of Webber's clear advantage in the wet earlier in the session.MrBlacky wrote:Vettel was the whole weekend very fast in S1 and S3, right the opposite of Mark Webber who was alle the way fast through S2.

We have to admit at this point of year, given the results in Canada (when dry), in Valencia and here in SPA that Red Bull is faster on the straights than McLaren, while the last seems better on high downforce circuits like Nurburgring and Hungaroring ...raymondu999 wrote:What REALLY caught me out is Vettel (I think) was faster in S1 and S3 than Hamilton; and slower in S2.
