The bus stop isnt really an overtaking place. he should have kept the slipstream round the corner and tried it at La Source.

Even if he straightlined as he did, I would think a more "seasoned" driver would have not immediately overtaken at the next corner. Most would have kept the toe and had him coming out of Au Rouge at the top of the hill. At the time Lewis would have extended his lead over Massa in the championship and caused Ferrari a problem as if Kimi had won they couldnt have just backed one driver as McLaren are doing with Lewis. In fact even without the rain, Lewis`s best chance for the championship was to sit on second and keep pressing Kimi.

I know Lewis is fast, but there are still some inexperience errors around.

Disagree by all means but you have to concede that Lewis was half way alongside Kimi at the corner thus he couldn’t have been further back than when they both crossed the line.

Isn’t hindsight wonderful?
