Lotus F1 Team driver Romain Grosjean has been handed a one-race ban following his severe collision at the start of the Belgian GP. The driver has been involved in seven first-lap crashes already this season, surely a metric to have been influential in the decision making of the stewards.
If only you had swapped Ham and Web, I would have been in complete agreementajdavison2 wrote:What we want for the sake of an exciting championship is for Ham to win, ALO to retire, and WEB and VET to score 2nd and 3rd respectively
!Very true. All in all, I hope Web,Ham,Vet, and Rai can build their scores towards Alo. All the best respect for Alonso's work so far, but I want it down to the wire like 2010 and 2008.ajdavison2 wrote:I put them in that order because WEB is 7 points ahead of HAM, so for the sake of a closer championship, HAM needs to finish ahead of him this weekend
0.5 second thats a bit optimistic, lots of car updates on different cars , just because McLaren were fast last race does not mean they will blitz the pack by 0.5 formula one changes all the timebeelsebob wrote:So... forecast is for dry but cool now. Assuming the forecast stays the same (big assumption at spa), I can't see anyone other than Hamilton winning this one. Of course this also makes the assumption that all teams upgrades are roughly equal etc.
Qualy:
1. HAM
2. BUT (+0.5)
3. ALO (+0.1)
Race:
1. HAM
2. ALO
3. WEB
Agreed, it's a bit of a stab in the dark... But, Lotus will not perform well unless they have some *major* changes to their car. McLaren seem to have got the bit between their teeth in terms of understanding their car and it's tyre usage... The only dark horse I can really see is ferrari with their pretty enormous update pile.adam2003 wrote:0.5 second thats a bit optimistic, lots of car updates on different cars , just because McLaren were fast last race does not mean they will blitz the pack by 0.5 formula one changes all the timebeelsebob wrote:So... forecast is for dry but cool now.
