Belgium Grand Prix 2011, Spa Circuit - Race 12/19

[Kenai]

Haha, funny little dig at Vettel there

First corner. A Force India removed the lower part of the wing for him.

It was Timo Glock in the Virgin and he got a stop go penalty for it.

 

[Danthus]

I don't see it, myself.

I don't think it's Hamilton's fault, but if you're passing someone, you don't have the right to move back out into the racing line. When you pass, you go up the inside, that's how passes work.

He obviously just thought he was further ahead of Koba than he was. But Koba has absolutely no responsibility to slow down, because there's no way he could really expect Hamilton to move into his line.

When you pass, you can go either side.

Kobayashi front wheel hit Hamiltons rear wheel.

 

[Weebull]

So nearly a hundred points lead, and only 175 left, did they say?

Two more wins and the seasons officially over then.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

China, surely?

This was a quality race though.

Was that the mental race where everyone overtook everyone?

 

[Weebull]

When you pass, you can go either side.

Well ok, fair point .

But what I meant was, you've picked a side, you've got no real reason to assume that you're past him yet, so you can't just jump in front of him and expect to be fine.

Nope. The Virgin hit the Force India and the Force India removed the strakes from the wing.

Glock did not touch the McLaren.

 

[PinkFloyd]

Button must have crapped himself there at the start. Very lucky with that bit of car missing him.

 

[Ceryndrion]

Quite shocking that footage of the endplate of senna's front wing, slicing button's right mirror off.. He was also lucky that the large piece of wing that hit his suspension arm, didnt cause any damage either.

Yeah sorry meant Timo Glock caused it by slamming the force india sideways, poorly worded by me, was in no way the force india drivers fault, all down to Timo Glock.

 

[Glaucus]

LH was well and truly past before the corner. I expect he knew that with the mirrors. He wasn't expecting him to come back so well in the braking zone, it's clear from the video LH was looking at the apex not behind.
Racing inciedent. When you come from so far back you should expect to catch the guy in front out. Not his fault but he should have realised.

 

[utajoker]

mclaren and ferrari should move development to next year they arnt going to catch vettel.

 

[PinkFloyd]

Hamilton's crash with Kobayashi was definitely a racing incident imo. Both drivers could have done something to avoid it, but I wouln't blame either of them.

Yeah I agree.

Yus.

 

[NathanE]

Oh wow. Pastor is still sore over the incident with Lewis. Just accused Lewis of making the same mistake today with Kobyashi!!!!!

 

[Kenai]

Oh my word, Maldonado = LOL

 

[utajoker]

schui had an awsome start.

 

[Glaucus]

Lol indeed that was priceless, I have a new driver to hate. After warming to vettle and MSc, it's been missing.

 

[Dr Who]

Eddie just go over to Michael and tell him you want to have sex with him and get it over with.
