Just home from a long day of Gaelic Football semi finals.
Hamilton is simply not very good through Eau Rouge on lap 1 on this race track! He recovered superbly but it makes me chuckle how he makes a pigs ear of it
Rosberg was awful in the first stint, his Mercedes engine saved him from Vettel getting by after his poor T1 exit (twice?) and his pass on Bottas was very messy, Bottas however was very poor in defence and then attack and basically gifted the place to Nico.
This undercut business is shady to be honest, they cut Lewis's gap in half, which just created unnecessary pressure. Nico himself was ever so fortunate to survive the Perez onslaught, no less since he'd been held up just the perfect amount by Kimi to let Rosberg exit ahead. Rarely is Hamilton afforded such useful slices of luck.
From there on it was plain sailing, I was very happy to see Hamilton secure another victory.
Hamilton 9/10
Rosberg 7/10
