Interesting dry race? Meh...I hope Spa will be unpredictable! Remember this? [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FzNZSaKOsQ[/ame]
Yeh brilliant stuff, thats until you get home and find the results had been switched thanks to that corrupt rat Mosley.
Which decision are you referring to: The first one by the race stewards siding with Hamilton? Or The second one by the race stewards at the track during the race siding with Hami? Or The third one taken hours after the race by Mad Max at the green table after realizing that he can take revenge on Dennis by reversing a result race control had already signed of?
Anyone who has ever raced will know what a total sham having Hamilton disqualified was. In this instance he beat Kimi fair and square AND made him look ordinary by comparision. The mountain of politics surrounding this decision was disgusting and turned me off from watching F1 for a while.
Before we get off topic, I posted that video to remind us of the tricky track conditions, not the tricky off track conditions
+1 time to move on from years ago. Im hoping for a dry fast race that is close and exciting this year.
+1 For the ones who want to relive that race, go find that thread and read it again. The opinions in that thread will never change, end of.
That was an incredible on the edge of your seat finish. Very much like the Canadian Grand Prix this year, but much more so. It was very dissapointing to see the penalty added on when I looked on the internet later. Really cheapened the experience.
The FIA is weighing up whether or not to ban the use of DRS through Eau Rouge at this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix, on the back of safety concerns voiced by drivers. In the wake of the restrictions imposed through the Monaco tunnel earlier this year, the famous Eau Rouge sequence at Spa-Francorchamps has been singled out as another area of worry by some drivers. It is feared that there could be an increased risk of accidents if drivers are tempted to take the 180mph turn with DRS fully open in practice or qualifying - when DRS use is totally free. AUTOSPORT understands that the Grand Prix Drivers' Association has already voiced its concerns about the matter, with the situation almost certain to be discussed ahead of the Belgian GP weekend. Although the FIA has acknowledged that the Eau Rouge issue does need looking it - and reacted to similar worries voiced by drivers about the Monaco tunnel by banning its use there - high level sources at motorsport's governing body have said that no final decision has been made about whether a restriction will be imposed this time out. Despite the safety issues at Eau Rouge, HRT's Vitantonio Liuzzi believes that the situation is not as critical as it was in the Monaco tunnel. "For us it will be on the edge with the DRS, but the tunnel situation was a bit different," he told AUTOSPORT. "The reason I was asking to ban it there was because of a crash, wheel-to-wheel in the tunnel, which could be a really critical situation. "In Eau Rouge it is different. It is open air there, there is no roof, with no pylons so it could be a normal racing accident as at any normal place. It is an easier decision for the FIA, because Monaco was a bit more risky. But I will take it as it comes, I like a challenge." The issue of DRS at Eau Rouge will not matter for the race; the FIA confirming that the single DRS zone at Spa will be located from the exit of Raidillon and will run until the Les Combes chicane.

Bwaa-haaa If you've got the cojones to open it, go for it. If you haven't nobody says you've gotta use it!.... Leave it up to the drivers! If you fly off, bad luck old chap! Cheers, Ian
I'm with you on this Steve. Not the faulty part, but the semi wet track Nonsense. Just let them run it. No dramas at Monaco, why should there be at Spa?
It was outlawed thru the tunnel at Monaco [see my emphasis below.] Anyway, fugged-about-it at Eau Rouge - Just published at Autosport; *******! Cheers, Ian
Sad. Drivers now want risk free driving. Time for some of them to take up golf. They should have DRS on the entire track at every track or get rid of it. Im becoming very bored with the mentality they should be in a risk free sport. Grow up.
+1 The risk premium is covered by the salary. Get with the program. PS: And no cockpit covers either please. And no starts behind the SC cars when it rains.
