F1 SPA - Recap

Is anyone out there still complaining about Formula One being boring?!?!?
Put together a Real race track, a bunch of  F1 turbo cars close to each other in performance and a handful of good drivers. Add a wet practice that further mixes the cards and an internal battle between the two drivers of the same team, that are also leading the Championship.....If this doesn't look yet like a race from the nostalgic '90s,  include also a touch between those two drivers that basically sends one of them out of the race and the recipe for a great Gran Prix is served.

At the end, is the Australian Ricciardo to jump on the highest step of the podium after 44 laps rich of battles on track as well as at the pits.
Is the most concentrated car-driver duo, combined with the best strategy, that goes home with 25 points in its pocket. Not the result that most of the experts were going to bet on, considering that the first two cars in grid were, as usual this year, the two Mercedes of Rosberg and Hamilton and third and fourth in line we had two sharks like Vettel and Alonso.

The focal moment of the race unfolded itself already in the second lap of the race. Rosberg sees an opportunity to put himself in an overtake position beside Hamilton and goes. Hamilton follows the regular racing line maybe unaware that behind, the other Mercedes was already on his rear tire. They touch, Rosberg loses the right side of his front wing and has to stop and replace it, Hamilton ends up with a flat tire in the first session of the longest Gran Prix track of the season and he need his time to come back to the pits to get assistance. He will never be able to come back in the fight for points and he will retire his car for better days.

The other Mercedes driver, Rosberg, gets back in the crowd, chasing and being chased until he ends up in second place that means 18 points that weight like gold, an hurricane of boos from the Hamilton's fans, copiously poured in the stands around the finish line, and one of the most critical debriefing in his racing career.

Williams's Bottas complete the podium with another brilliant performance that is becoming more of a constant than a news.
News is, instead, the P4 for the red dressed Raikkonen that gets the best finish of this season and puts his car ahead of his teammate, again for the first time in this season.
