Formula 1 2014: Round 12 - Belgian Grand Prix

CFlat

Ah the difference in the straight line speed between the Ferrari and the Merc is just ridiculous.

Autosport

Alonso having a good race, now Rosberg acting the gobsheen :ask Charlie is that overtake ok : I'm really starting to dislike him more

andyman

Everyone goes on about Rosberg's race craft, yet it's his lack of race craft that has essentially ruined a good championship battle.

Hamilton not using his head. Let the guys in the garage and on the pit wall worry about the engine, race win/podium places out of the question but points absolutely not out of the question.

Great pass by Bottas.

Be very tempted to take Ricci in in the next lap or 2 and put softs on til the end.

You're still not answering my question, did Rosberg's lack of race craft cause that incident?

The answer is yes.

Like I said, if the shoe was on the other foot Hamilton would be crucified.

I don't think so, Rosberg had to show Hamilton his fangs

You made a statement, not a question. Now you've made it into a question and then answered it yourself. There's no point discussing it really is there?

Getting to last chance to make a stop now, few people gonna be struggling towards the end.

Last season it was anti-Vettel this season it's anti-Hamilton
It's always gonna be someone but I do think Rosberg acts like a child at times

Really? If anything it's been "unlucky Lewis, not your fault Lewis, Mercedes f*cked you over lewis"...

Ricci gonna have to stay out now, 22.5 seconds in 9 laps.

No such thing as a racing incident apparently.

Is it worth bring Ricciardo in? I can't see him staying ahead of Rosberg if they're next to each other on track with similar tyres.

"Showing his fangs" is only good when it's not wreckless. Bahrain was Rosberg showing his fangs. That was just clumsy and, not only that, has handed him the title advantage.

That is not racing.

Specially since he's on young Primes, only 9 laps old.

Jesus Lewis STFU.

I think you'll find every incident has a clear winner and loser. No grey areas. Nope. Not a one. Always one specific person at fault. *Always*

He drove Rosberg off the track in Bahrain and in Hungary. If that's fine then I really can't see how whinging about what happened today is justified.

Will Hamilton take more notice of Rosberg next time they're close together? Yes. Job done Nico, well done

Hamilton getting his wish

Contact changes everything. Race ending contact.

We all got our wish. Now we don't have to listen to him whinning on the radio.

Well done?

You have got to be joking me if you're commending Rosberg for that.

Autosport

Now that's racing

Bit much from Magnussen there, team ain't gonna be too happy.

Looks like Nico won't catch before the end anyway.

Santan

how long more has hamilton got left on his contract

andyman

Putting Alonso on the grass was a bit naughty in my opinion

Tzardine

Danny has it.

Showing his class / talent

Pretty much everyone taking the piss with track limits at Eau Rouge.

Autosport

Kevin is gonna have a very angry Alonso to deal with

andyman

Regardless, at least a driver we all like has won.

CFlat

This is great stuff!!

andyman

I can't believe we actually missed Chilton overtaking a car on the track.

Autosport

Alonso is gonna be sooooo angry

Looks like Alonso busted the car through a mistake through Eau Rouge.

oceanman

nice haul of points for rosberg....

Autosport

Where did Alonso go??

Got overtaken by Button after Eau Rouge, he'd run wide through the corner and had a big moment, apparently the floor was broken.

andyman

Lauda furious with Rosberg!

HAM commended in Bahrain for his racing, even though Rosberg had to take avoiding action. Shoe on the other foot now

Delighted for Ric and nice seeing the Williams on the podium.

That was clean racing. Today wasn't clean racing.

And you expected Hamilton to take avoiding action? Rosberg is the one who yields in that situation. Not Hamilton.

Top Dog

Replay there showing Alonso running his wing into Vettel's rear tyre. Loss of downforce probably caused his moment of off-track at Eau-Rouge.
