While the midfield teams can't really battle with the top teams, they do have some fun battles with each other sometimes. In Belgium this time round, we saw Sauber's Marcus Ericsson and Toro Rosso's Brendon Hartley do battle for P9 in the race.

With Hartley right in front of him, we thought the Swede had the overtake done into the first turn of Spa, but he misjudged his run into Eau Rouge and allowed Hartley to switch back around as they got into Les Combes.

The sight of the Sauber mechanics clapping prematurely would have been an amusing sight for any Toro Rosso fans, and then the next lap, it certainly went the other way round. Ericsson took the advice of the commentators and no doubt fans around the world, and positioned himself after turn one to take the position back from Brendon Hartley.
