Re: Belgian Grand Prix.

Interesting perspective from Jarno there Jason.On thinking about it a little more,he is probarly right.A gravel trap there at the Bus Stop would have ended Lewis's race there and then.

Okay so I don't feel so bad now about Felipe being gifted the win. :D

At a track day I couldn't really give a you know what about ultimate lap time as I know Ferrari are not going to phone me to take over from Kimi for the last few races. :lol: Hence road tyres ...

This morning at one of our highway off ramps they were handing out pamphlets for the new range of Vespas.They were dressed as either Nuns or priests,but the clincher for me is the third picture.... :D Please excuse the black and white pics guys.
