Belgian Grand Prix

What a Fantastic Race!  The Belgian Grand Prix was an amazing race with the weired weather conditions and odd  starting position.  Mark Webber started first but his start was not very good because he had Clutch problems.  He said that on the parade lap he had the same problem and they tried to fix it but it just made it worse.  This meant that he was passed by Hamilton and Kubica.  Just minutes after the start there was quite a bad crash between Barichello and Alonso but to everybody's amazement he Alonso continued racing with only minor damage.  Throughout the whole race there was quite alot of contact between the two Petronas Mercedes but nothing too big.  Then it started pouring and this went off and on throughout the race causing it to be very slippery.  This meant thatteams had to choose weather to stay on intermediates, Slicks or wet Tires.  Quite a few people got wet Tires just to be safe.  Towards the end of the race Vettel overtook Kubica in the pits meaning he was third behind the two Mercedes  then he tried to overtake Jenson Button which resulted in disaster he spun puncturing Jensons Fuel Tank causing Jenson to be out of the race and Vettel to end up fifth and a drive through penalty. After this another spin happened with Fernando Alonso which was in a blind spot plus he couldn't get his car going which meant they had to bring the safety car out. Then after the safety car hamilton went off the trach but sadly could get back on intime to keep his position.  it ended up being Hamilton Fist,  Webber Second and Kubica third.  Anyway great race cant wait till Singapore cause im going.  Here are the full Results:
