Russian Vitaly Petrov Renault driver, starting at the Belgian Grand Prix from the second-last position, managed to finish ninth in the third race in a row to earn points. The winner of the next phase of "Formula 1" was Lewis Hamilton of McLaren. After two brilliant races at Hockenheim and Budapest, where Vitaly Petrov after a long break the tenth and fifth, respectively, all we expect from the first-ever Formula-1 Russian pilot the new accomplishments. Benefit and technology strike ceased, and the French engineers team prepared to resume the championship glory. Renault, finally decided to use the invention at the time McLaren ducts, that allow you to increase the maximum speed of the car on the line. The debut of the updated cars "stable" was held just at the spa. But if Robert Kubica posted all his trumps immediately, winning third place in qualifying behind the leader and only three tenths of a penny, then Vitaly Petrov, seems to have decided to postpone the demonstration of speed on the race itself. Not having time to travel and one-goal range, the Russian hit a curb, lost control and crashed into a wall. Thus, the next day he was destined to start from last place. Bailed out by Pedro de la Rosa and engineers Sauber, who have decided for the ninth time this season to replace the engine on the bolide. And as such the focus is allowed to crank a total of eight times per season, the pilot automatically lost ten positions on the grid, allowing Petrov moved to the line above.

At this time - Mark Webber. But almost a sensation looks out for the second segment of Heikki Kovalainen on Lotus and Timo Glock at Virgin, and absenteeism in the final pair of Mercedes - Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg. However, here the Red Baron is on what to blame - the engineers team released him on the track at a time when it was more than just machines. In addition to all of the Germans was also fined ten positions for the attempted smear of Hungarian bumpers Rubens Barrichello. Failed the qualifications and pilots Ferrari - Felipe Massa was sixth, and Fernando Alonso and does the tenth. It seemed that the 13th stage will be most unfortunate for Petrova. Indeed, despite the fact that overtaking is not something out of the ordinary, to get out of the cellar up here managed a few. While enchanting examples were: Michael Schumacher, starting here once the 16-th position, came to the finish line first. But first things first. Worst start made pole position winner Mark Webber, immediately conceded five cars, and Lewis Hamilton advantage of the situation, firmly grabbed the lead. As soon as the rain started, the fight was out of Rubens Barrichello, who led his 300 th race of his career. On wet pavement, he lost control and rammed a Ferrari Fernando Alonso. In this case, the Spaniard managed to return to the track, having been in the pits, which, however, only delay its descent. Shortly before the finish when the race is already reminiscent of race boat, two-time champion flew to the "shore." Meanwhile, Petrov, from 23 th position was able to get out on the 11 th. And it is not going to stop there. Who was walking ahead of Nico Rosberg in a brilliant Russian-style beat on the outer radius. And here also assisted by Jenson Button, Sebastian Vettel went: in the fight for second place German driver tried to overtake the Briton, but the car on a wet track led to the side, and the collision occurred. Vettel got off the broken front wing, but Button was out of control. During his outburst was a fine German fare in the form of pit lane and eventually fell back to 15 th place.

Renault 123 "I do not know whether to be punished Vettel or not, but it seems to me that the decision of the stewards - the right - said after the race Button. - It all happened in the fight, Vettel did not do it on purpose. Although the incident was strange. I do not know that the maneuver performed Sebastian. "First of all, I want to say very sorry about the incident with a loaf of bread. I did not want it taken off - said Vettel. - At the time of my attack distance was minimal, I had the advantage of speed and was behind Kubica, who could attack. I tried to attack the braking of the outer radius, but when shifted from internal to external trajectory, missed control and crashed into a car Jenson. Rain intensified, and after a wave of pit stops Petrov was nevertheless outwitted all the drivers behind Mercedes, used the intermediate type of rubber. However, for such a sad start of the weekend and finish in the points - an excellent result, regardless of location. Excellent results were shown and partner Vitali team - Robert Kubica, who finished third. The winner is the Belgian Grand Prix and the new championship leader Briton Lewis Hamilton was from McLaren.
