Because Hamilton has yet again put him in a position where Rosberg either decides to crash or get out of the way. The point Rosberg was trying to make in Spa was that people shouldn't get out of your way just because you're Lewis Hamilton. Drivers constantly run one another out wide. Why is Hamilton doing it any different to another doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommig1995 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Well I enjoyed that race even if you didn't...We arrived in time with the end of the GP3 race, so when we got into the fan park (behind Eau Rouge), the GP2 cars were heading onto the track. They make a fantastic noise. After the first lap, we slowly walked up the hill and along the Kemmel straight. We got to Les Combes as the race was finishing. It's really that far, even if we stopped to take photos quite often. The hill is enormous. Games & TV give no concept of how steep it is, nor that the downhill after Le Source is so great.We made our way round to the top of pouhon, the right hander named Bruxells. From there you can see miles. I'm not joking. Again, the sheer elevation is astounding. Having got the the bottom of the circuit, we made out way up the inside of Blanchimont, and made it to Bus Stop in time for the drivers parade.We were sat in the trees on the banking at Bus Stop Chicane, so there is next to no chance we appeared on telly :( We had a good view of the braking zone, but because of the trees getting good photos was difficult, hence most of my good photos are from the support races. We had a giant screen quite close, so we got to see the Ham/Ros incident. Massa was *****, Kimi was good (finally), Ricciardo was great, again.After the race we made out way up to the side of the grandstand to see the podium. We didn't boo Rosberg, but it was loud either way. After that, we got onto the track at Le Source, walked to the base of Eau Rouge, and made our way back to the bus. Great day!

Track is far too wide and the elevation change is almost non existent. Its just weird. When you are at braking zone for Druids looking back to Paddock Hill Bend it looks like there's a good amount of elevation change, but when you drive around it it feels almost flat. Same with other parts of the track. I really don't understand how they did that. And the track in places is probably close to 2 times wider than it is in real life. The version in game was an older version but the elevation change and track width was the same as it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to judge because we were on a braking zone, but the GP2s are probably louder. They literally shake your chest, it's awesome. The F1 cars make a really cool sound, I just don't think it's very loud. That said, you could hear the echoes off Pouhon on the first lap. That was cool!

GoldenColt Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I'm gonna go to the Austrian GP next year, can't wait. Although it won't be as special as 2003 with the V10's. I remember we were still looking for a parking slot quite far away from the actual circuit and we could already hear the cars while still sitting in our car.

VetteIfan Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 From my point of view at least, the difference between the V10's and V8's was huge. The V8's screamed and engulfed the circuit, but the V10's bellowed for miles. So happy I got to catch the end of that era by going to Silverstone in 2005. I was also especially happy Montoya won that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And really emphasizes how important aero has become on these cars. I do wish the cars were faster over a lap at all tracks.. but I also love that the cars don't just stick to the road due to aero. So not really sure what the solution to that is. But Monza should be quite fast this year so that's cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
