Lewis Hamilton took control of the Belgium GP from the beginning of Sundays race, and after a masterful drive, under constantly changing conditions crossed the finish line in first place.  Lewis recapped his performance after the race;

 “At the start, I was able to pace myself and maintain the gap – every time the cars behind increased their pace, I was able to answer. Then, when the conditions changed, I had a wide moment at Turn Eight – and I was on the edge of my seat! Fortunately, I got out of it, took a step back, regained my focus, and took control again. I was so relieved to cross the line at the end of the race – it was an overwhelming feeling!" 

Mark Webber was able to overtake Robert Kubica in the pits after Robert over shot his stall creating a very slow pit stop for RenaultF1.  Webber was able to maintain second place and Kubica took third.

Team RedBull had this to say about the afternoon: Webber began in pole position, but a poor start left him sixth by the first corner. However, he battled hard through typically Spa dry and wet spells to finish second behind Hamilton.  Mark said: “The start was a mess, but fortunately I was able to overtake a few guys and get some of the positions back. It was a good day for me, but unfortunate for the team that we didn’t get more points.”

Sebastian had a less than successful afternoon; his troubles began with a collision with Jenson Button as he went to overtake the McLaren driver on lap 15. The result? A new nose for Sebastian plus a drive-through penalty and a resulting drop down the order. “What happened, happened.” said Seb. “We can’t change it now. Obviously I’m not proud of it, I lost the car going over the bump as I was braking and unfortunately hit Jenson, so he couldn’t continue – I’m sorry for him.”
