2015 Belgian Grand Prix

In dominating style reigning Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton took an impressive victory at the wonderful Belgian Spa Francorchamps circuit.

Starting on pole position Hamilton made a good start and controlled the 43 lap race. After a poor get away from the grid Nico Rosberg drove from sixth position, at the exit of turn one, to eventually finish second. The Lotus driver, Frenchman Romain Grosjean, brought his Mercedes powered Lotus home in third position and made a welcome podium appearance.

Grosjean, while running fourth with less than two laps to go, was the beneficiary of Sebastian Vettel's retirement - from third place - when the German's right rear Pirelli tyre spectacularly failed. The Ferrari driver falling foul of a decision to risk a one-stop pit stop strategy.
