Formula 1 Analysis: Belgium Results and Championship Standings (12/19)

First things first, there are a number of teams with one driver - please let me know if anyone objects to the following situation.

Chris Grigson (from last place Force India) moves to Ferrari (as he knows Joe)
Paul Smith (from last place Force India) moves to Red Bull

Unfortunately that leaves Brian on his own but given there's an odd number of drivers there's no way around this - sorry.

Back to the F1. This title battle is becoming farcical. It's been a long time since there's been a fair fight between the two Mercedes drivers and what's more the title leader drives like a rookie costing his team 37 points to Red Bull (Hamilton -25 points, Rosberg -, Ricciardo -10 points, Vettel -2 points).

We learn afterwards that Nico put his car there to prove a point (confirmed by Toto Wolff) - wow. This is not something which should be taken lightly by anyone. A driver who does that is dangerous and in my opinion doesn't deserve the title much. As a long time fan of both drivers, with a slight inclination towards Hamilton, I was very disappointed with Rosberg.

Everyone will have their own opinion on the incident. What's yours?

Onto the prediction league, congratulations to Joe, Paul Smith and Brian! Our deserving podium finishers - backing Red Bull was exceptionally decisive with Ricciardo's third win of the season.

Sangan didn't get on the podium but had an incredibly strong weekend and they now take a sizeable lead into the 13th round of the championship.

Here are the championship standings:

Inputs and random

The random involved picking the best drivers/cars through each sector of Spa. Two drivers/cars were required in each section. Well done to Chris Grigson for scoring a very quick combined time and winning the category!
