2012 Belgian Grand Prix

[Alex p.]

Vettel on Webber nice move.

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

Red Bull keep hitting the rev limiter as they usually do on the straights

 

[Grayfox]

Yeah, two tires in Eau Rougue's kerb and you won a 5 sec penalty

Mainly talking about turn 9.

Go wide, even though you gain no advantage you get one.

 

[Bye Ya]

Wonder what Webber was thinking of Vettel's move?

 

[Anghammarad]

Very good Vettel. That was probably your best pass ever in F1.

 

[dhandeh]

Can we have the rain now please.

 

[PAWEL17]

Urgh, The Lotus letting down Raikkonen.

 

[CinnamonOD]

Red Bull has short gear ratios don't they? They're hitting the rev limiter very quickly

 

[Alex p.]

Can we have the rain now please.

Not gonna happen or was it predicted?

 

[peter_vod69]

That Williams looks to have good traction compared to the Red Bull.

Schumi onto the podium!

Just like Fuji?

 

[ZEROX]

RBR are losing it on straight.

 

[Alex p.]

Schumi in 3rd, oh yes!

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

They do it at most circuits and its costing them here. The only way I think they can overtake is in the braking zones.

 

[Bye Ya]

Schumi's Mercedes looking fast.

 

[ZEROX]

Whoa, just look at the carbon dust flies from the tyre.

 

[dhandeh]

Not gonna happen or was it predicted?

Well, if you don't ask, you don't get.

 

[MustangManiac]

You're telling me he didnt know he saw a car he was in the process of overtaking. At the start of a GP. When cars are bunched up?

Exactly and why move to the extreme inside while approaching La Source, you would think he would be moving as far to the outside as possible. Looks like a blocking move gone wrong to me, he needs his 🤬 kicked!

 

[Alex p.]

Well, if you don't ask, you don't get.

Haha. I thought we need to make the rain dance though...

 

[Famine]

You're telling me he didnt know he saw a car he was in the process of overtaking. At the start of a GP. When cars are bunched up?

Indeed. Apparently when you approach a car on your right and pass it, it vanishes.

That was a ludicrous start. It's just sad that we can see these things coming too - the "danger zone" tag, applied to the Hamilton, Grosjean, Maldonado bunch before the race. Badgift wasn't involved in this specific incident himself (due to a new bit of dumbness from him) and Hamilton is effectively hard to blame for a collision where a car overtaking him swiped him into the grass, but everyone saw something like this coming.


Good race for the new teams though. Caterham's first point coming?

Yes why move to the inside when it looks like the cars in front are taking a wider line. It's not like he was setting himself up to try and overtake the cars infront or anything.

 

[dhandeh]

Haha. I thought we need to make the rain dance though...

 

[Mike Rotch]

Soft touch by Senna - should have run him out of road at the bus stop

 

[ZEROX]

^ You need Maldonado for that.

 

[CinnamonOD]

Caterham's first point coming?

Maybe

 

[dhandeh]

Button, Scumi & Kimi for the podium for me. Don't know which order though.

 

[Alex p.]

*gif*

Lol. Let's hope it helps, I wanna see Schumi take the win. Never thought I would say that this weekend. *Everything went better than expected*

 

[peter_vod69]

Talk about admission of guilt from Grosjean...

 

[Watchman]

Oh.

Good race for ze Germans so far!

Wtf, nice Caterham pit release.
