Lol, another death stare by Papa Massa

 

[Ark]

Absolutely brilliant by Perez.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Nice move by Perez. Very aggressive, but pretty good.

 

[Dilly]

Mercedes should just take a new engine every race.

 

[navanman]

RBR race pace is pretty poor.

Verstappen gets taste of his own medicine from Vettel

Update on Kevin:
Kevin Magnussen ran wide at the exit of Eau Rouge and made heavy contact with the barriers.


He left the car unaided and was taken to the medical centre for precautionary checks. He is fully conscious and responsive.

He has a small cut to the left ankle and has been escorted to a nearby hospital for further routine checks.

We will bring you more information when appropriate.

[stryke]

really? they had to cut to Ves taking over Palmer?

 

[NewDust]

If Palmer didn't leave any room on the inside, max would have burried his car right inside of his.

Local director.

 

[Goldrusher]

Nice aerial shot.

 

[Blastoise]

Wished BUT wasn't out. McLaren is going real well.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Lewis better hope Danny Ric is taking a lot out of the tyres

Either that or he's planning on going till the end which seems impossible

 

[Deadman]

Can't believe Alonso didn't get an unsafe release penalty.

 

[navanman]

3rd place for Hamilton now with one last pit.

 

[Terbinator]

Confused as to why Hamilton did a 2nd stint on the softs rather than M/S/M

 

[Par Score]

Fire whoever does Lewis' strategy at Merc. Fucking hell.

He just doesn't trust the MSM.

 

[stryke]

dangerous re-entering by Vettel there

 

[Mokubba]

So why does he have the mediums now?

Weird strategy from Mercedes.

 

[mclem]

Weird strategy from Mercedes.

Does he have any softs left?

After his qualifying I assume he's drowning in tyres of all types, though.

 

[Gareth Bale]

You lot reckon that RBR won't have to stop again?

I'm not convinced

 

[Juicy Bob]

Lewis has done an outstanding job to get up to third from 76th on the grid.

Good point. Not sure.

He might have only had super softs left.

9 laps and miles up the road

Don't forget Alonso too!

 

[Par Score]

I mean a podium is a great result for Lewis obviously, but it could have been second.

 

[Gareth Bale]

9 laps and miles up the road

He's still doing 1:53s

 

[mrklaw]

Why is Hamilton likely to need another stop? They all got the reset button at the red flag so he shouldn't need an extra stop vs rosberg/ricciardo. Is it additional wear or the choice to go with softs to make progress vs the leaders?

He won't need another stop, he's already made 1 extra.

He went MSSM, the rest went SMM.

Burnt out the tyres doing some overtaking while the other two have been cruising in free air.

 

[stryke]

Alonso doing well keeping the Williams at bay

 

[NewDust]

I feel like the T1 accident didn't really make for an exciting race, which is crazy if you see all the little (big) stories that happened on track.

 

[Interferon]

Logically, it would be much more exciting if those stories happened at the front of the grid

 

[Gareth Bale]

Looks like the gap too big to put him under any real pressure. I imagine he will drop last couple of laps but not 10s

 

[mclem]

Well, that's two different pronunciations of 'fracas' so far, will we get a third?

 

[Yagami_Sama]

I wish Alonso may hold that position.

 

[Xando]

Williams strategy geniuses continue to deliver

 

[Dilly]

A McLaren Honda not completely out of its element at Spa, at least progress is being made.

Rosberg appeared 3 times during the transmission. Verstappen a lot more. XD

 

[hamchan]

Yay well done Danny Ric.

 

[bobnowhere]

Red Bull clapped Rosberg but Merc brushed Ricciardo.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Great job by Hamilton and Ricciardo. But Alonso's result was more impressively. There were some incidents which helped but he did a great race.

And the biggest loser wad Verstappen.

 

[stryke]

So williams can't overtake a sitting duck.

 

[NewDust]

I don't know. Normally I don't really care who is in front and I watch F1 especially for these moments. I think it has more to do with nobody putting anybody really under pressure and when they did it just lead to horrible driving. Aside from the results some drivers got (Ham, Alo), I feel nobody really excelled.

 

[Tempy]

Force India passing Williams for 4th place in the Constructor's Championship. Good for them.

 

[Ruruja]

Ron Dennis was right all along. The next world champs after Mercedes will be McLaren-Honda.
