WINNERS

Lewis Hamilton

Naturally, the triumphant Brit heads the list of winners after a superb display of car control, ability under pressure, and calmness. Aside from his excursion into the gravel trap at Rivage as the rain got heavier, Hamilton drove the perfect race.

Taking full advantage of Webber’s poor start, he controlled all 44 laps and held on stoically after the safety car pulled in with three laps to go. The McLaren driver is evoking memories of Michael Schumacher in the late 90’s, winning races and challenging two cars that are fundamentally faster than his own.

Can he go one step further and become the first British double World Champion since Jackie Stewart?

Robert Kubica

Whilst many think that the remaining races are a straight fight between McLaren, Red Bull, and Ferrari, there is a spanner in the works which might alter that assumption.

This years R30 has proven itself able on short, twisty layouts thanks to the excellent traction and medium wheelbase that it possesses, yet it was never more than a few seconds behind the supposedly dominant Red Bull for the entirety of the Grand Prix, one which is considered one of the fastest and longest races on the calendar.

The new F-duct device that Renault had honed over the summer worked immediately and should go even better in two weeks at Monza. 

Mark Webber

A weekend of mixed emotions for the veteran Aussie. To win pole at a circuit such as Spa Francorchamps is always a cherished memory. That was made obsolete within three seconds of the lights going out, however.

Webber enjoyed his second portion of luck in as many races when his team mate helpfully put himself and one of his championship challengers out of the running, as well as a third putting his car in the wall.

The first seeds of a Hamilton vs. Webber title fight have been sown...
