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.
They can fix broken stuff but not change specs right. so if a wing is busted you have to put the same spec wing back on.FrukostScones wrote:repair under parc fermee rulesBanki wrote:Can the McLaren repair Hamilton car completely? or does Hamilton have to race this damaged car?
Front wing and tyres, I believe, are not part of parc ferme. Though i could be wrong on the front wing. But seeing as they could change Lewis's front wing, then yeah.Banki wrote:Have you got any information that Hamilton has an other Spa spec. front wing?FrukostScones wrote:repair under parc fermee rulesBanki wrote:Can the McLaren repair Hamilton car completely? or does Hamilton have to race this damaged car?
I thought so too, but I think it's just the camera angle. Having watched it many times Hamilton is either equidistant or drifts ever so slightly right. Certainly he does not turn towards Maldonado.Pierce89 wrote:This is not true. In the video a couple pages back, Hamilton clearly gets further from the outside edge of the track. I don't think Hamilton was trying to ram Maldonado, but show the Venezuelan he won't be bullied. Alas, it all went wrong.myurr wrote: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.

On board will confirm it I'm sure, but there's absolutely no way anyone can spin this as Lewis hitting the other car or making a swipe at him.
My fisrt question is... Why Maldonado has to run so close alongside hamilton having a wide track?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
The racing line is actually to the right at that point, setting up for the entry into Eau Rouge. Hence the dry line being over there.F1PuertoRico wrote:My fisrt question is...

Maldonado doesnt need the racing line since the session was finish for him.
I don't get that. Where is Sector 2/3 speed trap? And why are Lewis/Webber so down in S3?raymondu999 wrote:Traction wrote:raymondu999 wrote:What REALLY caught me out is Vettel (I think) was faster in S1 and S3 than Hamilton; and slower in S2. The OPPOSITE of what you would expect normally. Anyone have trap figures? I'd love to see the top speeds of the top 3 qualifiers

Apologies...I made the corrections....
Yep, very impressive opening, hopefully we'll see a lot more of him now!gridwalker wrote:Pseudo-Senna in a fake Lotus did very well today ... I never thought I'd ever see that!
