Lewis Hamilton survived a late scare to win the Belgian Grand Prix ahead of Red Bull’s Mark Webber. Hamilton towards the end of the race went onto the gravel and was millimetres away from touching the wall whilst the rain was teeming down.

Webber made a poor start on race day but recovered well to finish second. It was yet another case of a Red Bull being on pole and not being able to capitalise.

Renault’s Robert Kubica had a stellar weekend and the Pole came home in third. Had Kubica not made a mistake in the second round of pit stops, then he may have finished the race in second.

Mercedes GP had a decent weekend considering Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher were way down the grid in qualifying. Both drivers finished sixth and seventh to cap off a satisfactory day for the team.

Force India celebrated another double points finish with Adrian Sutil finishing in a superb fifth place and Tonio Liuzzi coming home in tenth. It was a much needed result for Liuzzi and he will be looking to build on his tenth place finish at the next Grand Prix at Monza.
