Spa always seems to restore my faith in F1. That last lap was exactly what F1 should be like.

Kimi basically can't drive, LH is just better but we all make mistakes and Kimi made an absolute stonker when really he could have sown it up.

I don't know, he overdrove but we only have to look at what the Ferrari was like in Silverstone to see that it's an absolute shed in the wet.
 
I would have expected Kimi to keep his head being the more experienced but he didnt. Of the two I'd have expected Lewis to bin
 
That extra Mclaren torque/traction control lever worked wonders ;)

As ever with Spa it takes a bit of rain or chanagble conditions to turn a dull event into a great finish.

I was hoping kimi was going to take him out. Oh well.
 
Kimi and LH both lost it several times in the last few laps. Just Kimi ended up in the wall.
No ones to blame.. It was just unlucky.
 
I think Kimi was unlucky. He was the guinnea pig for Hamilton. When Kimi spun it and then proceeded to stack it it gave Hamilton the hint that things were treacherous. But yeah it did look like Kimi lost his cool a bit from the pressure Hamilton was giving and that is what it's all about!

Don't think LH lost the car at all in those last few laps. There were a few danger moments like when he had to avoid Rosberg and stuff but nowhere near the level of spins and cross country tours that KR took.
 
Thing is tho why is kimi pushing for 1st then, if he took his time we would have ended up infront of massa and picked up his 8 points (2 more than massa), still 5/6 races left. Anything can happen in them like it did last year.
Now there is no way back and he knows it....
