Three races without a win now for Vettel. Can he turn it round at Spa?

Yeah always a belter at Spa.

Bruno Senna is likely to replace Heidfeld for the rest of the season starting this weekend.

And, DRS is banned from use in Eau Rouge. Meh! Health and safety.

Crazy qually

Maldonado will get a penalty for sure but I think he was well pissed at Hamilton almost running him off the road in the last corner while he was also trying to bag a time. Bad results for Di Resta and Button though.

Should be a belter.

Cracking race. Spa never fails to deliver.

Unlucky for Hamilton but I think he was at fault for moving back across Kobayashi. Pity Button didn't have quite the legs to catch Webber at the end.

Schumacher taking Rosberg was nice. Button's 3rd place was awesome. I agree on the Hamilton thing too.

What a wiley old horse. Look how he knows from experience where to go on the first corner and after Eau Rouge. Then taking the extra green strip @ Blanchimont to really get back to the pack at the end of the lap is amazing. Tailgating the Force India @ 200MPH too and ducking back in is pure testicular fortitude!
