2013 Belgian GP: Five talking points

Mercedes miss the bus

After his one lap heroics at the qualifying, Lewis Hamilton could manage a podium finishing 3^rd after starting from pole position. That Mercedes clearly lacked the pace was evident when Sebastian Vettel made his move on Hamilton in the very first lap. But Hamilton managed to keep it steady in the end and move to 3^rd place in the points table. Nico Rosberg followed him up with a commendable 4^th place and managed to keep Mark Webber, Jenson Button and Felippe Massa at bay. A 3 / 4 finish though ensured Mercedes stayed ahead of Ferrari in the Constructor’s table.
