2015 Belgian F1 GP: Lewis Hamilton Cruises To Victory

Mercedes-AMG's Lewis Hamilton bounced back from his disastrous Hungarian race with a straightforward win at an uncharacteristically quiet Belgian Grand Prix. The Briton was never threatened for the lead over the forty-three laps in the Ardennes Forest


Mercedes-AMG's Lewis Hamilton bounced back from his disastrous Hungarian race with a straightforward win at an uncharacteristically quiet Belgian Grand Prix. The Briton was never threatened for the lead over the forty-three laps in the Ardennes Forest.

The threat from Williams never materialised and Ferrari's chance to capitalise disappeared in a shower of rubber on the penultimate lap. Lotus' Romain Grosjean, who was right behind the German on the Kemmel Straight, took the final podium spot.

Daniel Ricciardo's early form came to nothing after a car failure at the Bus Stop, reportedly caused by electrical issues

PRACTICE AND QUALIFYING

The return to the track after the summer break is always promising, particularly when the first track back is the glorious Spa Francorchamps.

The Red Bulls looked like they'd found form, the Ferraris looked like they might cause some trouble for Mercedes and Williams did their usual trick of making some positive noises.
