Sebastian Vettel had won the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps, leading the race after gaining the lead in the first lap. After getting passed after 3 corners, Hamilton ran the entire race in second place while Max Verstappen completed the podium for Red Bull Racing.
My eyes while watching live and the german commentator telling "flat through Pouhon".siskue2005 wrote: ↑25 Aug 2018, 17:23Source ? Video?LM10 wrote: ↑25 Aug 2018, 17:20Vettel was flat through Pouhon in Q2 as well.siskue2005 wrote: ↑25 Aug 2018, 17:17
But both Ferraris were .3 sec slower in s2.... so most probably they didn't run flat out as they were running lower wings
The point is, stop finding reasons to justify what happened.LM10 wrote: ↑25 Aug 2018, 17:23Yea, so what's your point now? Do you want me to tell you a million'th time that Hamilton is the best driver in wet conditions so that you can feel better or get another million'th confirmation?GPR-A wrote: ↑25 Aug 2018, 17:20Last time in Hungary, someone said Hamilton did the lap when track was better, while it was not and now you are saying tyres. The fact is, Vettel did the lap, when the track was getting better, than when Hamilton did. That was the reason why Foece Indias did well, because they were at the right point at right time. Yet, Vettel fell short.
Hamilton was running more downforce and was always fastest through S2 and hence it was possible for him to go flat. But difficult to imagine Ferrari did that too as they had a different compromise that made them slower in S2.
Lets all just act like the more downforce that Mercedes is running doesnt matter in the wet... lets all act like Mercedes being faster in the middle secotor is not an indication of this....look at the rear wings on the Ferrari and the Mercedes for a crystal clear indication of who is running more downforce.GrandAxe wrote: ↑25 Aug 2018, 17:08Kimi is always overly tentative in wet conditions. As for Vettel, he was on fresher tyres than Lewis and on the track at the most optimum point to get pole, but still lost by almost a second to Lewis ... A second.SchuMassa wrote: ↑25 Aug 2018, 16:59Why were both Ferrari drivers garbabe in the rain?GrandAxe wrote: ↑25 Aug 2018, 16:49The very best surely rise to the top in the wet. How I wish it would rain tomorrow!
Rain would add a lot of spice, especially with Kimi and both Red Bull's out of position because they ran out of fuel.
I guess a wet race would hand an easy win to Lewis though. Kimi and Vettel are rubbish in the rain (especially Kimi), while Max is great, but has a an aggressive dry setup. Ricciardo is average in the wet, but has the same aggressive dry setup as Max.

Really? I also watched the same feed, but didn't see any on-board of Vettel in q2 through puhon. If u can show me video then it will be ok.
If ur only source is ur eyes then I can also claim Lewis was flat through la source
?? vettel was the guy who passed the line the last if I am not wrong. At least after Lewis. He had the same chance. that is why he closed the gap to .7 seconds from 3 seconds.
How does that imply Vettel doing more laps? He just finished his last lap later than Lewis. Vettel stayed longer in the pit due to tire confusion.foxmulder_ms wrote: ↑25 Aug 2018, 17:53?? vettel was the guy who passed the line the last if I am not wrong. At least after Lewis.

Then I might have confused it with another corner or another driver. I'm not even sure if it was Q2 anymore.siskue2005 wrote: ↑25 Aug 2018, 17:36

Just to clarify I’m agreeing with your point.
How many did either of them do in Q3? 3 each. Lewis made an error in the penultimate lap and had to get the last one right, which he did. Vettel ran late and had the better conditions for his final lap.LionKing wrote: ↑25 Aug 2018, 18:01How does that imply Vettel doing more laps? He just finished his last lap later than Lewis.

Hamilton did a total of 19 laps in quali and Vettel did 18 laps.
