The slightly delayed 'Belgian GP 2012' thread

Another big crash right after the start:

Resulting in a well deserved one race ban for Grosjean, coming Sunday at Monza.
A double five-place grid penalty was awarded to the other idiot in the field, Pastor Maldonado. One for the false start and one for ramming into Glock.

Final results of an exciting race:
