Vettel squeezed him off the track and didn't like it when the same was given back :)
Yep, nowt wrong with that.

I thought they were still undecided about Halo or the screen?

Too few teams have properly tested with either to date and the drivers don't like either.

All teams tested the halo last season; the screen apparently made Vettel dizzy at Silverstone. The halo is much more thoroughly tested and has been demonstrated to be the safest option.

Just read the news story - its fair enough based on safety data. I was concerned it would block the drivers view but I get how the screen could be worse - looking through a visor and then the screen cant be good

Kimi performing the number 2 driver role very well.

Vettel has got this win in the bag.

Yeah I'm watching, when going in a straight line he's having to turn the wheel to the left quite significantly. He's been told to stay off the kerbs too.

Yeah, on paper with the top 4 only separated by a few seconds at one stage it could've been a great race. But with lack of overtaking places and not being able to follow the car in front too closely without overheating and losing downforce it was all a bit meh.

Should be a good race today and fingers crossed that Red Bull get beyond the first corner without crashing.

I love Spa. It's the perfect track.

Yeah Spa is great, I've been there twice to watch the F1. Think Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is my favourite tho.
