Lewis Hamilton recorded his third GP win of this year by taking the chequered flag at the Belgium GP. Mark Webber was right behind him in the second place while surprisingly Robert Kubica of Renault also finished on the podium. The Driver's championship is very much becoming a two horse race between Hamilton and Webber now!!
What do you say?
Cheers!

Yes. He (Lewis) was really lucky, so was Mark for not getting hit from behind or sides because of his slow start. Alonso is just 6 points behind J Button I think. So mathematically he still has similar chances as like button or vettel. But Ferrari's car development has just been above average this season whereas Mclaren and Red-bull were fabulous. Thus I think Ferrari doesn't have it in them to fight till the end.

Oh is fernando that close? I thought he was a bit further back than that, I still haven't got my head around this new points system tbh I keep having to convert it to told points.
Mclaren's speed in the early season came from their F-Duct which no-one else had, now everyone has it and Ferrari and Red Bull have these flexible body parts that are within the rules, Mclaren are pretty screwed, especially considering the circuits coming up are all pretty high downforce circuits and mclaren seem to do well at the low downforce circuits. If the reliability keeps up I think Webber will probably walk it

Aye they all have an outside chance but I put Webber as favourite, he's on form and has the better car overall.

Lewis was so lucky to not end up in the barrier when he went off. Because of that luck, he and webber are now leading the championship by a considerable margin, more than any driver has led by this season. It could so easily have been a DNF for lewis and only Webber out in front, so at least we still have a relatively exciting title battle. I think Fernando is out of it now though, its between the top 4 and of them I think only Webber and Lewis have a chance.

I didn't like the result because from now on only 2 drivers left for the championship. Now they are going to favor those 2. But since there are still 7 races left, anything can still happen.

man,did u see what vettel did? he´s going nowhere doing things like that hehe
kubica is a very talented driver,i think he deserves a more competitive car
and i agree that now is with hamilton and webber to see who will be the champion,but lets see next race,if hamilton or webber fail to score then the championship could be open again for the other guys

Both Jenson button and Seb vettel is now behind by about 30 -40 points to their teammates Hamilton and Webber, but with still 150 points to race for, I think the battle is still open. If Seb vettel continues to drive like this, then he may lose the race sooner, and in that process crash other people out. But it was a classic performance by this year's underdog Robert Kubica. He has the clear potential to be a WDC.
