All video footage shows that both Hamilton and Alonso were behind Rosberg, and not alongside, when Rosberg made the move to the inside line. Its legal defending by Nico, if a bit dangerous though. Lewis pulled alongside Rosberg outside the track, and when Nico saw that, he quickly left him room. I don't think Rosberg deserves a penalty here, but if anyone does, its Lewis for forcing himself down the inside by going off-track.

I agree with you and I don't know why people think Rosberg did something wrong. Every driver is allowed to defend his position.
By the way, what type of surface is there where Hamilton made the pass on Rosberg? Normally drivers don't choose to overtake on the grass next to the Kemmel straight.

It's a concrete surface.

I hate tracks without grass. It's safe, but allow to fail and don't loose a lot of time.

Come one, in both cases even Rosberg himself put a tire in the sand too... It was very hostile.

Anyway, I just hope when Alonso does that he doesn't get punished either.

Webber, Hamilton and Alonso are the only drivers to have scored points in every race this season.

That's a rather impressive 16-race streak of consecutive points finishes for the Spaniard, going all the way back to the 2011 European GP (Valencia). Still not quite his best, though: he managed 18 between Turkey 2005 and Germany 2006.

Schumacher managed 24 (!) between Hungary 2001 and Malaysia 2003. I wonder if that's the actual record?

I think it is. But considering the performance of the F150/F2012, that is unbelievable. Alonso is the greatest driver at the moment and he has to be in my top 10 of greatest ever.

My friend told me Bahrain is trying to be the first race of the 2013 calendar. I hope they do it.

I love Bahrain :p

No. No. No.

The track is abysmal, there is little atmosphere. If it has to have a race, fine. But not as the season opener.

Somehow you are right. But they can convince Bernie with their money.

Onboard highlights of the race


73 overtakes.

When I become FIA president, it'll be made law that Australia and Brazil bookend the season and Spa is at the end of August :p

Are you tall or short? If you are tall then forget it.
