formula 1: Belgian GP
race results
Ferrari Fernando Alonso sums up the outcome of the Belgian GP, which took place yesterday on the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in the Ardennes forest: " Red Bull had a pace advantage of one second of something like that today.» And in the last part of the race, maybe more, maybe 1.5 seconds. So when you have a car that is 1.5 seconds faster than the rest that is easy for you to stop a lap earlier or a lap later. "
and this despite the fact that RBR cars faced a problem with the tyre blistering and asked for permission to change the settings of the car suspension. The stewards denied their petition and the same team plans to change the settings anyway and taking the penalty, from the pit lane.
in the end, they decided to run, and it proved to be the right choice. Sebastian Vettel has once more won, extending its lead to 92 points over his closest rival, teammate Mark Webber, who finished second.
the final place on the podium went to of McLaren, Jenson Button, who put in an excellent performance in spite from 13th place on the grid. Alonso acknowledged that this fourth place was the best he could do and is currently third in the driver standings. But the Championship, with only seven races remaining, seems a fait accompli for Vettel and Red Bull Racing for the second consecutive year.
However, the man who stole some of the glory of Vettel at the Spa was none other that Michael Schumacher, who celebrated his 20th anniversary of the race in formula 1. and not only he put on a show for the cameras, with both his former ( Ferrari ) and current team ( Mercedes ), him with presents, but he showed that no matter what his critics are saying, it still has what to compete although he is 42 years old.
on the same track that 20 years ago, he made his inaugural formula 1 appearance, finishing an impressive seventh with a car of second-tier and in spite of never having led there, Sunday he fought closely with teammate Nico Rosberg and fought loyally, crossing the finish line in fifth place.
