Oh my goodness its amazing!!!! So wantin to write but too brilliant!
It’s spa which is enough to make me love it!
oooh – safety car now too on lap two and theres so much already happened that I havent written about.
not going into pits while safety car out…
am also in school supposedly doing some sorting but now gripped to IWB!
there’s lots of talk of rain and though it seemed to start dry , there was a little shower on the first lap and it seemed whole pack went off at last corner in formation – caught out by wetness. then barrichello went into Ferrari at that corner which caused safety car.
weber in poll had terrible start (martin just said anti stall kicked in…) and went down to about 6th. Mclarens ultimately over the lap made it into a 1-2 and that’s where we are at this restart.
hmm – why didn’t I go to the loo before it started… well, guess I can use the children’s ones!
Lap 17 – well it had calmed down but with constant rain suspense (none quite come yet) but then Vetel (3rd) slams into the side of JB (2nd) and Button’s out the race L Vetel manages to leap across the track back into the pit entrance and get a new nose. But that’s big news for the championship!
Lap 28 – Poor Vetel – though it is his own fault. He had to stop for a new nose so then started to climb his way back up, and then got a drive through penalty for that incident. And so to climbing again. And now he just got a left rear puncture when he caught Sutil when overtaking him so a crawl back to the pits and time to climb again!
Lap 35 – big debates now as to when to go for inters… think this predicted rain is really coming! Mclarens telling Ham to not come in just as he goes off, but just misses the barrier – everyone else going into pits now but Ham (in the lead) has to get it back to pits… come on. Have actually hurt my head leaping up and down in classroom and hoping he didn’t hit the barrier! He’s in the pits now. Kubica overshoots pits letting Weber into second. Ham out still in 1st.
Lap 38 – Championship contenders dropping like flies – can’t think now if that’s my phrase or if I just heard martin or Jonathon say it!! Alonso spins and leaves his car on the track at a perpendicular angle! safety car is out! it’s a case of surviving for the next 5 laps now.
Lap 41 – safety car gone in – everyone backed up and so tense seeing how bravely everyone treads on this wet track.
Lap 44 – made it! Hamilton takes the victory. Love it here – the marshalls marshall the drivers back up through the exit to the pit lane and they drive up it the wrong way rather than completing another lap of this longest circuit.
