Hamilton just binned it in the fange chicane.

[Dr. Pain]

Can someone tell these teams that balloons are cheaper to pop than engines!

[Big Kev]

Vettel hasn't won for a whole year now. This is his best chance. If one of those Ferrari's doesn't win then the season is over.

[Big Kev]

oh jeez
Formula 2 driver Anthoine Hubert has been killed in a crash at the Belgian Grand Prix, motorsport's governing body the FIA has said.

Looked like he lost it in eau rouge, hit the wall but was basically ok but then someone following t-boned him and pretty much cut the car in half.

[durbster]

I saw the footage and it's brutal. RIP.

[Santaria]

I saw the footage and it's brutal. RIP.

It really was. Happened very quickly too. The driver that T-boned him had no chance to avoid at all.

Oh no. He was a great young driver.

R. I. P. ‪Antoine.

Shocking incident to see.

[Montey]

This video (footage and animations) shows very well what has happened.

As long as open-wheeled racing exists, this type of incident is possible.

[pixelboy]

Oh man that's horrible.

Sad day for the sport.

[r8response]

Hamilton was in the midst of an interview when it happened. It caught his eye in a monitor. You could tell he knew it was bad.

[w00dsy]

There's another angle of it from someone right near it

[norbs]

Fucking Verstappen. Jesus he is an idiot.

Poor Norris, he deserved that 5th. It was good to see Albon looking racey, he showed more confidence in the car in the second half of the race than Gasly has all season.

[durbster]

I think Albon's won his garage over with that performance, great stuff. Early on in the race I spotted him in 15th and thought he'd screwed it. I'd completely forgotten he'd started at the back

What I don't understand is why they don't reduce the length of the DRS zone. I thought they'd refine it over the years and it's always been too powerful here. More often than not, the pass is done way before the corner, sometimes with time to slot back onto the racing line. If they reduced it by 50-100 metres it'd surely add a bit more challenge.

Leclerc deserved that and it was good to see him doing it under pressure. Looks like he's broken Vettel now too...

[Big Kev]

Maybe what they should do is have a sensor that closes the DRS when the cars are level (or maybe when the DRS'd car's front wheels pass the non DRS'd back wheels) so you get the effect to get alongside and then it's down to who brakes last.

Decent race. Albon really performed well.

Good to see Leclerc win at last. I think on that day of all days it would have been pretty heartless of Hamilton to get him at the last corner but I wouldn't have put it past him!

[w00dsy]

Something no one had mentioned yet, Renault are terrible with strategies. I can't believe they didn't pit Ricciardo a second time, they made him do 43 laps on the mediums. He was a sitting duck at the end.

[Big Kev]

I think most people have forgotten they're even on the grid! I'd get rid of Cyril. They've done nothing since he joined them. Strikes me as a bit of a Boulier.

[w00dsy]

Sean Galeal must be thankful for the HANS device

[Duke]

Blimey what did he hit?
And don't you mean HALO not HANS?
