FORMULA 1 2018 JOHNNIE WALKER BELGIAN GRAND PRIX: RACE *** SPOILERS ***

A Ferrari win will be extremely popular next week. Especially a 1-2! Imagine that....2 pts difference then going into Singapore.

 

Great win for Seb today. That move he pulled off on Elton was sublime..... And still some say he doesn't deserve his seat

Hard luck for Kimi though. I think had he not retired he would have at least been on the podium.

 

Just watching his post race interview, he said he was surprised by Williams braking early so they "touched".....

 

Wait, I vaguely recall you were gloom & doom in some of your recent posts?!? Welcome back the land of the faithful!

I still am. The cars were always the best. But not the humans. We make too many errors. Let's hope they wouldn't make anymore mistakes for the remainder of the season.

Hulkenberg given 10place grid penalty for Italian GP

 

Like others have said “trick things” as in innovations versus illegal....

 

And the band played on ....

Yah I thought that statement was a dig at Ferrari too. "Trick things" makes it seems like they are bending the rules.

 

I'll be in Florence on Saturday. Can't wait! Ferrari looked to be dominating all weekend in Spa.

Completely unfortunate for Kimi on several levels.

 

and 3 penalty points

 

I am surprised to see the Halo cracked like this.
Does the halo have an outer "cosmetic" shell or has it structurally failed?

 

The Halo itself is a titanium structure. What you see from the outside is a carbon fiber fairing.

 

Carbon fibre wrap.....inside titanium tubing


edit: above post beat me to it

 

Bottas 5 sec penalty for hitting the Williams but keeps the same position.

 

Just the cosmetic cover.

 

Ah... the "no big deal it's Mercedes rule"!

 

and 2 points.

also from FIA "The driver of car 77 admitted the collision was his fault, that he had completely misjudged the situation and that the braking of car 35 caught him by surprise and that he should have left more margin".

Lewis Hamilton: Mercedes F1 team needs to match Ferrari's 'tricks' --- No tricks just hard work and innovation!

 

I think Ferrari finally has the wind at its back. Give them some credit for fighting back all season.

Monza will be critical but if seems that after years of trying they finally have the car to win there -- the fastest car.
