2012 Belgian Grand Prix

Been chasing a pigs bladder around a field, so I've missed the panic over Schumi's car. Whats happened?

His KERS battery pack failed. The news came out about 20 mins before the pit lane opened and they replaced it in time luckily so he can start on the grid rather than the pits

Thanks.

Christian Horner has been looking at Lewis telemetry tweet and said he found it useful. Lewis will definately be in trouble now. :facepalm:

According to Andrew Benson, McLaren is not happy.


Someone please tell me that Peter. did not just say that.

I know Senna spun. That's bad enough. The fact that he damaged it is even worse. All you're doing is proving my point that Senna is a liability at Williams.


I'm not thinking of Bottas' pace.

What I'm thinking of is the way Williams clearly hold him in high regard. They see him as the natural successor to Nico Hulkenberg, and by way of Pastor Maldonado and the PDVSA deal, they have enough money to keep him around.

If I were calling the shots at Williams, I'd put my money where my mouth is and stick Bottas in the car for a few races on circuits he knows and get a feel for how good he really is. If he lives up to his promise, that's great. If not, Senna can go back in the car and continue to be mediocre.

I noticed that you didn't comment on Senna after Hungary...

I generally don't comment immedaitely after races. They tend to be on late at night, and I frequently work early on Monday mornings, so I go straight to bed.

Nevertheless, one Q3 appearance and points-scoring performance in Hungary does not make up for his lacklustre season.

Maldonado has scored 4 points other than his win in Spain.

Senna is consistently scoring points.

We could do with a separate Bruno Senna thread, as it gets really boring having it interlaced with every Grand Prix weekend thread.

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

Can we all forget about driver changes for now and focus on the race

 

[Alex p.]

What was Grosjean thinking? He drove straight into the side of Hamilton on a straight whilst Hamilton was actually turning away.
