Horrible start for Ferrari... Vettel spins at Turn 1 and Raikkonen has contact with Verstappen and a puncture.

The kids are restless after their summer holiday, that's for sure.

Virtual safety car.
The first couple of laps were chaos, Rosberg managed to avoid it all by being at the front.

Contact between Button and Wehrlein has led to their retirements from the race.

Huge crash for Magnussen, but he's out the car and just about walking.
If we keep going at this rate, we're going to run out of cars by half way through the race.

Red flag, presumably so they can repair the tire wall.

I left the room to use the facilities, so I didn't know the red flag had come out... I come back to see Hamilton out of the car and I was like "OH FOR F***S SAKE, HAMILTON'S OUT TOO NOW?".

Hinch dominates the race, but Rahal gets the win with a last lap pass. Kanaan third. That race was f***ing bananas. Those last 30 laps were up there with last year's Fontana race for \ some of the best oval racing I've seen in a decade. I'm gutted for Hinch, but I kind of blame his strategist for that. I don't know why they didn't bring him in a for a new set of tires for those last 8 laps. Whatever though; I'm glad Graham won though. I don't think that Rahal pit either though, maybe? It's a tough call because you want the fresh tires, but if you pit from the lead and give up the position, and then there's a string of cautions to end the race you don't even get a chance to get back to the front. I would haven't been surprised if the race had just ended with a string of yellows with how crazy it got at the end there. I want to know where the hell Pagenaud came from during that last stint. And a great drive from Castroneves to hold on to 5th despite everything that happened to him in the race. |

Wow, Raikkonen and Verstappen are gonna crash again if they keep this up.
Raikkonen's so pissed, even the beep machine can't keep up and a swear made it to air.

Rosberg wins it in Belgium ahead of Ricciardo, with a hell of a drive from Hamilton to get it to 3rd and retain his championship lead.

And once again, champagne is being drunk out of a used racing boot, this time by guest interviewer Mark Webber.

Kyle Larson holds off Chase Elliot to win in Michigan and lock himself in the Chase.
