Spa Comments

Let's get some talk going here...

Vettel bash into Button.
Seb was too hot on a slippery part of the track and pushing too hard. To me, Button was innocent so the drive through was a good call. His race was destroyed because of anxious Seb. Since he put another car out, I understand the drive through was needed.

Start: Web was slow off the line...they had clutch problems.

Kubi: Good finish, considering his one pit mistake coming in too hot in the rain. I would consider this an honest mistake on a wet pit lane.

Mac: There is something funny about their cars. My guess is that they have exhaust going undernieth into the diffuser with a valve or something actuating under decelleration. LISTEN to the car under hard decel. This may give extra rear grip on tight corners. This is some tech advantage which a smart engineer figured out recently.

I love rain and new tech innovations.

Thoughts or opinions?

Jenson Button has admitted that there is no question about Sebastian Vettel's speed in an F1 car, but has questioned his all-round ability after being taken out of the Belgian Grand Prix by the Red Bull driver.

Button and Vettel were running second and third behind a fleeing Lewis Hamilton when the German made an attempt to pass at the Bus Stop chicane, but the move ended in a collision after Vettel's car was unsettled by a bump in the road and slammed into the left-hand side of Button's McLaren. The Briton was out on the spot, and claimed that his title shot had been ruined by the incident, while Vettel continued to endure a problematic race before coming home 15th.

"For me, he has made too many mistakes this year to fight for the world championship, but he is extremely quick, we can't take that away from him," Button told Reuters, "To get seven poles is extraordinary in the amount of races we've had - but to throw that many away is also very surprising."

Even the great Schumi made mistakes, and Vettel will learn by these catostophic errors he did this weekend at Spa. The title may be slipping away from him this year, but he will be back to fight again and as a better racing driver.

And what about Renault. Kubica had a great race, only to be beaten by Webber during the pit stop. Which could be as you said Gizzy, the conditions! Renault team boss Boullier was still delighted with the result and the pace of the car, which was able to stay with the front runners throughout. Probably due to the F-duct!

And Schumi did well too, but Renault could overtake Merc if they carry on with their performances.

So is Webber going to get the backing of the team now??? I ain't so sure, but I am sure all will be revealed over the next fews weeks. Roll on Monza.

RB has said that no driver will get special treatment, but many think that Seb is the favourite
