The race itself was a very good race to watch, with pole sitter Lewis Hamilton lost three places after a poor start due to a loss of power, allowing team-mate and rival Nico Rosberg into the lead, and Kevin Magnussen and Felipe Massa into second and third respectively. With Hamilton passing Magnussen and Massa within laps of each other he made sure to catch up to his team-mate to the pit-stops. Then on lap 29, Rosberg missed the first chicane allowing Hamilton to take the lead to conclude a fastest lap and an impressive win to give Lewis his sixth Grand Prix win of the season.
While, team-mate Nico Rosberg finished in second place in the Mercedes to give the team its seventh one-two finish of the season.
Meanwhile, Felipe Massa finished in third place, in his Williams, to give his first podium finish of the season.
Nico Rosberg still leads the drivers' championship from team-mate Lewis Hamilton, but the gap is now reduce from 29 points to 22 points in the standings with six races to go. While, Daniel Ricciardo is third in the standings is now 64 points from Spa to now 72 points behind Rosberg after his fifth place finish at Monza.
Next stop Marina Bay Street Circuit in two weeks time for the Singapore Grand Prix.
End of blog for now, new post soon. Bye.
