Too bad about Schumacher. Understandable though if he had previous injuries that weren't fully healed. Any weakness will be readily apparent when exposed to the forces of a formula one car.

Luca was a waste of time for Scuderia. Letting RG by at pit out is unacceptable.

apparently the team agreed that it will be a test session not a race, so he let the people pass him. stefano said next race they will be observing his performance or lack thereof

Anyone know what the consequences are of going through your allotment of engines before the end of the season? RedBull only has two engines left for Vettel so he could run out.

The thing is that Red bull has a hard dissision to make and thats witch driver do they put all the effort into. Team orders will come into play.

Saw it and still can't figure out why he did it. It was his position to take. To move over was just dumb. I know he said before the race he just wanted to get out there and see what he could do but honestly if your competitive instincts don't kick in during a race then maybe you have any at all.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Practice 2 times are up for Spa. Glad to see Kimi only hundreths off Hami's time.

maybe another epic battle between the two this year!
