Fantastic race weekend for Button ... his first pole position for McLaren and then leading from start to finish. Superb!
Maldonado is a cheat. I looked at the replay of the start multiple times and he did jump the lights. Not only did he jump the lights but he planned it since he tried to get past through the middle when the other cars were still stationary.
Grosjean is all bravado and balls and no brains. He drove right pushing Hamilton wide and the touching wheels were inevitable. The carnage that resulted was shocking. Alonso was lucky today. Grosjean's car went over Alonso and it could have caused a very serious injury. It wrecked Perez's and Hamilton's races.
It was great to watch Raikkonen overtake Schumi round the outside through Eau Rouge. Thrilling!
Funniest moment of the race for me was when Raikkonen was told not to use full KERS and then his race engineer told him to push. Kimi instantly responded 'Give me full power then' :)
Maldonado needs to be kicked out of F1 for a couple of years.
That comment by Kimi was hilarious and that pass on MS was amazing, but if MS would not of seen him and closed the door, the accident could have had been the one with most serious consecuences of the season.
Grosjean may have ruined the champioship for Alonso right there, we will see on the end on the season, but with Ferrari having such a slow car on the dry, that gap Alonso still has is going to go away soon, no matter how much of a better driver he is. But thats racing so...
Thank goodness the accident wasn't worse, Alonso in particular was very lucky, his season could have been over on that first corner, the OBC view on his car of the accident was shocking...
What was very insulting is that after Grosjean causes such an accident on the freaking straight, he was questioned on the accident and he replied that he doesn't know anything about it, that he will have to look at the footage to see what happened like if he was just a bystandard. Hope he gets a penalty.
Very happy for Button, to bad he is so far down in the championship, hopefully this GP signifies his return to form and will keep this up and start to climb places.
Don't know what Hamilton is thinking, McLaren need to set him straight.
