The Drama Erupted on The First Corner
Once the debris was cleared up, Jenson Button took total ownership of Belgium's Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. Button lead the rest of the way to take the chequered flag more than thirteen seconds ahead of Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull who must have been glad to take the valuable points on offer in second place.
Lotus driver Romain Grosjean was given a one race ban and a fifty thousand Euro fine for causing the accident at the first corner, however his team mate Kimi Raikkkonen managed to pull of third place for the up and coming team.
In the driver's championship stakes, Fernando Alonso is in first place on 164 points followed closely by the Red Bull drivers Sebastian Vettel with 140 and Mark Webber on 132, Raikkonen's podium earned him fourth position with 131.
In the constructors championship Red Bull maintains their lead on 272 point followed by McLaren with 218. Don't take your eyes off Lotus who lie in third with 207 followed by Ferrari's on just 199.
