Ferrari Mailing List: Re: SPOILER --- Spa Reflections ---SPOILER

[Tom Reynolds (kjtar]

Willi,
     I think when Hamilton straight lined the chicane he did let Kimi back
in front.  I think Nico Rosberg's sudden emergence in their midst was a
freakish occurrance and Hamilton got luckier than Kimi at that point in the
race.  But, Hamilton seemed to finesse his car much better than Kimi did,
and that, as they say, was that.
Just my .02

Spa Francorchamps. But from where I sat, Kimi threw away the race at the end
when Hamilton clearly passed him by going off track and straightening out?a
chicane?at the end. But, as usual, the undisciplined Kimi lost his head and
tried a suicide pass, which finally resulted in him doing a big?off into the
guard rail, resulting in his DNF.
