Hamilton in charge
despite Rosberg win
LEWIS HAMILTON HAS RARELY BEEN HAPPIER WITH
a third place. The engine changes that put him to the back
of the Belgian Grand Prix grid could have cost him the world
championship lead. That they didn’t was thanks to a bit of
chaos, the pace of the Mercedes, and Hamilton avoiding
trouble on a day when quite a few found it rather too easily.
The masterstroke of changing multiple powerplants in one
hit means that he now has an extra edge over team-mate
Nico Rosberg, as well as a nine-point lead in the title race.
The result is that, despite Rosberg’s consummate and comfortable
victory at Spa, the momentum is still with the #44 Mercedes.
Hamilton was unable to ask any questions of Rosberg at Spa, but
he will be able to at Monza this weekend. Hamilton has won three
of the past four Italian GPs, including in 2014 when leader Rosberg
made a mistake under pressure and gave Lewis an easy victory.
Rosberg has still yet to beat Hamilton in a straight fight, but
knows he will almost certainly need to do so to avoid being
on the losing side of the title battle for a third consecutive year.
Also under pressure now is Max Verstappen. The teenager is
clearly an exciting talent – and one many fans have warmed to
– but some of his wheel-to-wheel antics leave a lot to be desired.
The late move against Kimi Raikkonen on the Kemmel Straight
was particularly worrying. Hopefully Verstappen can round off
those rough edges before he too becomes a true title contender.
