    switch to the SD channel, I think BBC One HD recently changed frequencies if you're using a FTA box.

    Puncture for Hamilton. I can see Rosberg getting a penalty.

    Ah now. While that was a racing incident Hamilton has been well aggressive with with Nico all season and gets praised for it. Has to take the rough with the smooth.

    Lewis needs to be more careful passing second tier drivers, not all of them are as good as Seb, Alonso etc.

    If Red Bull were being ultra-logical they'd be putting Ricci ahead of Vettel to have a go at clearing Rosberg.

    Hamilton knocked bits off two cars in the last GP with similarly aggressive driving but wait til you hear the whinging out of him after this race.

    With how packed up the the field is Hamilton could still do pretty well.

    Ricci ahead of Vettel, can see that big grin at the top of the podium again today. :D

    Again, let's swap the roles and imagine Hamilton gave Nico a puncture ;)

    Nico was totally wrong there.

    That was some getaway by Ham at the start.

    Ham kept the racing line. Ros turned in too soon. I don't think there was any malice by Rosberg but certainly not Hams fault.

    I think the second car was alongside enough for the first car to be mindful of turning in.

    Pitting Kimi before Alonso? Rare bit of sense from Ferrari.

    If that 2.9kg per lap fuel usage for Red Bull is accurate it's 127.6 for the race. They're either going to have to freewheel the second half of the race or the reading are rubbish.

    Jaysus, Bottas should be able to cruise past Vettel next time around.

    Poor from Rosberg into the chicane it has to be said.

    Why has Rosberg put on primes again? Surely he has 2 more sets of options?

    Especially in a place like Spa where it could rain and everything could be up for grabs. Very negative stuff from Hamilton.
