I Only Remember The Barrier - Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton's aggressive driving style in F1 Belgian GP at Spa-Francorchamps circuit must be paid. As defending champion, McLaren driver failed to maintain it due to great brushed with Sauber driver, Kamui Kobayashi, when going into lap 13.

When he managed to overtake the Japanese driver from the right side and going into Les Combes corner, Hamilton put his car left overnight because they have turned right. The movement was very commonplace.

Only, as the leading rider, he should know how much the car shifting to the left. He must also know the distance when overtaking in the mouth corners. Not necessarily when the front wheel is ahead of the opponent means that disalip will loosen speed.

Although Hamilton left the movement arguably is not wrong, but he underestimated the time made ​​a motion to the left of the car which is still next to Kobayashi. The collision was inevitable and Hamilton off the track, beat hard and still keep the road divider. The car only stopped when the "smell" the wall.

"I'm not really sure (what happened), honestly," she told the BBC. "I just remember hitting the wall hard."

Hamilton deeply regrets this incident to the team. "In fact, we are in a good position. As far as I'm concerned with anyone before. I get hit by them and the races that I experienced. That's racing," said former world champion in 2008.

He added that he thought it would be difficult to compete to win when he joined the two Red Bull and Alonso in front of him. "I think we were struggling. Whatever the reason, in a straight line is really slow, slow, and slow," he complained.

Vettel Won in Spa, Hamilton Crashed

Red Bull F1 Racing showed its superiority in Belgium on Sunday (28/08/2011). At Spa-Francorchamps circuit is 7.004 km, the second Red Bull car managed to finish 1-2. However, the hero of the RBR team is Sebastian Vettel, who chalked his seventh victory of the season.

German rider is very easy to win F1-12 series that took 44 laps. He was supported by the RB7 are so strong that can easily overtake his opponent. Get an extra 25 points solidify its leading position with a total of 259 points.

Second place was taken by a teammate, Mark Webber. Although a bit ugly at start, he can perform the task well. In fact, Alonso is only second to overtake on lap 37 and made his stay in second place in the top ranking while.

In addition to Vettel, Jenson Button has also appeared extraordinarily brilliant. Had bounced in the middle row, the British rider was able to overtake on the podium with Alonso third on lap 42. The success of this Button while saving McLaren of the aggressive way race by Hamilton.

Hamilton crash

Coming from start to warm up lap, the sky was somewhat cloudy. However, the track dried and all rider using dry tires (slick), especially the soft compound, in order to maneuver around the corner. At the start, Nico Rosberg managed to bulldoze Vettel after the first corner. Alonso also made a good start could be nudged into fifth position. On the second lap, he managed to shift the Hamilton finished fourth and stuck behind his team mate.

Regrettably, Bruno Senna, who for the first time with Renault, brushed with Alguesuari at the first corner. He had to pit to change tires, and car repair made its position back to the 21.

Vettel was surrounded by the Ferrari duo. On lap 3 he managed to take over the leadership position of Rosberg. Meanwhile, Massa who several times tried to overtake Rosberg in turn continue to fail. Finally, the fact that Alonso can overtake teammate on lap 5 and followed by a poke Hamilton Massa.

On lap 4, Webber and Button in unison to the pits to change tires. Two laps later, Vettel's turn to enter the car into the pit. When he returned to the track, its position back to the 8th position.

Alonso in the race the 12th series to show superiority. With courage, he can bulldoze Rosberg on lap 7. One lap later, Hamilton's turn rely DRS easily passes Rosberg.

Alonso once again showed his prowess. After the pit and into the orbit, its position back to the 9th position. On lap 10, he can be ahead of Webber, who previously had to struggle through Luizzi (Force India).

Vettel is another thing. Supported RB7 a very fast car, she regained its lead position on lap 11 to get rid of Rosberg who have not entered the pit. If seen from the results of the first 11 laps until the end of this and run smoothly, it is not impossible Vettel will win the race.

Apes hit Hamilton on lap 13. When it managed to overtake Kobayashi and will go to the right corner at Les Combes, he attempted to shift the car to the left. Meanwhile, the next rider in Japan so that collisions are inevitable. Although Hamilton can control the car, he beat up a billboard and stop at the wall.

Car Safety Car (SC) entered. Vettel took the opportunity to the pits to change tires, and pull out the third position. Button and three other riders also replace the board under the tire. Alonso was, who was in second place, immediately led the race. However, his position did not last long, and Vettel, the restart on lap-17, able to pass his teammate to get it back.

This risk must be accepted from non-Alonso entered the pits changing tires when the SC entry. With these results, it seems Vettel can still win the race series to-12, insofar as not having anything.

Although Hamilton ran aground, McLaren still has a Button that appear quite calm. From the ninth position, he continued to move up to sixth until lap 24 and ready to respond to Massa. His ambition get in one lap later, and now turn to Rosberg who will overtake. It worked on lap 26 that make it now in fourth position.

On lap 30, Alonso did pitstop (PS) last (2) and make the fourth position backwards. He should be able to shorten the distance with Webber and Button are still once again into the pit. Vettel had been doing PS last (third) on lap 31, then on lap 32 had regained its leading position.

Vettel joined the Italian team from BMW in 2007 and went on to secure victory at Monza the following year before being promoted into the Red Bull line-up for 2009.

"Racer who truly successful will remain at his team for several years because it takes time to process the development of joint, between the driver, technician, car, and tires.

“When you look around, the really successful drivers stay with their teams for quite some time because the process of growing together - driver, engineers, car, tyre - all takes time and once you've grown into one single functional unit you want to keep that as long as possible,” he said. “When it boils down to the sheer facts, for me the driver is the key to success.”

Sutil Wait for Confirmation

Force India racer Adrian Sutil was waiting for certainty about his fate in the team for next year. Sutil contract will expire later this year but he is awaiting a decision would be his fate with joy.

Mercedes can not repeat the success of Brawn in 2010. Great hope emerged in the 2011 season but the results remain disappointing.

Haug said the expectation was too much. Mercedes team is currently focused to overcome engine problems and improve the quality of the cars for the future.

"Mercedes team have done a good preparation in this season but the team Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari are also doing a much better preparation. We position ourselves at number four this season, while working hard to become the best in F1 for some coming years, "said Haug.
