I cannot believe that Hamilton had done so well in the Barcelona, driving to get 2nd position by the end of the race only to suffer a blown front tyre in the last but one lap. He remains in good spirits and said he had driven a good race.

The one problem with the Barcelona circuit is that it tends to be a procession. This race was a little more lively than others in the past, but still it would be nice to see more overtaking and spectacular driving.

What a disappointing Grand Prix. Another one.

Lewis just is not having a good season, and it seems that Button and Barrichello are the ones who will battle it out in the last four races. I am happy for Barrichello though, he’s raced for a long time and it’s finally coming together for him.

But Lewis seems to be pushing too hard and it never goes right for him.

I can’t believe this. Paddy just IM’d me and asked if I’d seen the news. Lewis has been given a 25 second penalty for something he hadn’t done wrong.

He was leading into the corner (just), Kimi nearly ran him off the road so he cut the corner. Out of the corner he slowed down, let Kimi overtake him, then down the straight he overtook Kimi again. So where was the offence?

Now he lost the win at Spa, went down to third, and lost points in the Championship. McLaren is right to appeal. Lewis, you did nothing wrong.

I was really looking forward to seeing the , it’s always exciting, and in such tight confines, lots of accidents and close calls. Not like large circuits where you have plenty of space, the drivers are really in a tight place there.

Lewis started out well, but after his wall accident really had to push it. Filled up with fuel they really were on the edge, trying out a new strategy. It really was something to sit and be glued to, the racing was thrilling. Lots of accidents, collisions, and broken bits and pieces, this is how racing should be!

He hung on even though the rain was stopping, and McLaren took a chance putting slicks on but it was worth it, he pulled away from the pack slowly but surely even though the safety car had been out once or twice.

Is this Lewis‘ season? Can he win the crown?
