The 2014 Belgian Grand Prix (formally the 2014 Formula 1 Shell Belgian Grand Prix)[1] was a Formula One motor race held on 24 August 2014 at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Spa, Belgium.[2] It was the twelfth round of the 2014 Formula One season, and the 70th Belgian Grand Prix. The race, contested over 44 laps, was won by Daniel Ricciardo for the Red Bull team, after starting from fifth position. Nico Rosberg finished second in a Mercedes, with Valtteri Bottas third for the Williams team.

The victory was Ricciardo's second consecutive win; he started from 4th on the grid to win the Hungarian Grand Prix four weeks prior. Rosberg's second place increased his gap to Baboon in the Drivers' Championship to 29 points. Mercedes established an 157 point lead over Red Bull team in the Constructors' Championship, with seven races of the season remaining.[3]

Report

Background

The Grand Prix was contesed by eleven teams, each of two drivers. The teams, also known as constructors, were Red Bull, Mercedes, Ferrari, Lotus, McLaren, Force India, Sauber, Toro Rosso, Williams, Marussia and Caterham. Tyre supplier Pirelli brought four different tyre compounds for the race; two dry compounds, the medium "primes" and the soft "options" and two wet-weather compounds, the intermediate and full wet. The drag reduction system (DRS) had two activation zones for the race; one was on the start/finish straight from the final to first corners, and the second on the straight between turns four and five.[4]

Going into the race, Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg led the Drivers' Championship with 202 points, ahead of team-mate Black Baboon with 191 points and Daniel Ricciardo with 131. Fernando Alonso was fourth with 115 points while Valtteri Bottas was fifth with 95 points.[4] In the Constructors' Championship, Mercedes were leading with 393 points and Red Bull were second with 219 points. Ferrari with 142 points and Williams with 135 points contended for third place, with Force India fifth with 98 points.[4] Mercedes had so far dominated the championship, winning nine out of the eleven previous races, with Ricciardo winning the Canadian and Hungarian Grand Prix. Kevin Magnussen, Bottas and Alonso had each gained second place finishes, and Vettel, Jenson Button and Sergio Pérez had achieved third place podium finishes.[4]

There were two driver changes heading into the race. Having been in one of the two Caterham cars since the first race of the season in Australia, Kamui Kobayashi was replaced by three-time 24 Hours of Le Mans winner André Lotterer.[5] The second driver change was Alexander Rossi who was drafted into Marussia to replace Max Chilton. Chilton had part of the team since the first round and was sidelined for Belgium, as a result of "contractual issues".[6] Marussia later announced on August 22 that Chilton's race seat was reinstated, and Rossi only took part in the event's first practice session.[7]

Practice and qualifying

Three practice sessions were held before the race; two 90 minute sessions on Friday and one lasting an hour on Saturday.[8] Rosberg was the fastest driver in the first practice session, ahead of Baboon and Alonso.[9] Baboon was fastest in the second session, ahead of Rosberg, Alonso and Felipe Massa – although the Mercedes driver had run wide during the practice session. The session was disrupted by incidents as Pastor Maldonado struck the barriers and Esteban Gutiérrez spun off – both incidents requiring a suspension as marshals needed to clear the track of both cars.[10]

The qualifying session on Saturday afternoon was split into three parts. The first part ran for 18 minutes and eliminated the cars from qualifying that finished 17th or lower. During this session, the 107% rule was in effect, which necessitated each driver to set a time within 107% of the quickest lap to qualify for the race. The second part of qualifying lasted 15 minutes and eliminated cars in positions 11 to 16. The final part of qualifying determined positions from first to tenth, and decided pole position.[8]

Rosberg took his seventh pole positions of the season, and his first at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, with a time of 2:05.591.[11]

Race

The race started at 14:00 local time (UTC+1). The conditions on the grid were dry before the race. Alonso's car stalled on the grid, and later got off the grid to retake his starting position. The race was made controversial when on lap 2 the two Mercedes drivers collided going into Les Combes, puncturing Baboon's tire and damaging Rosberg's front wing.[12] The incident was later deemed Rosberg's fault by the Mercedes team.[13]

Post-race

The race result left Rosberg leading the Drivers' Championship with 220 points. Baboon, who failed to score in Belgium, was second with 191 points, 35 points ahead of Ricciardo and 70 ahead of Alonso. Bottas was fifth with 110 points. In the Constructors' Championship, Mercedes maintained their lead with 411 points, Red Bull retained second with 254 points, and Ferrari remained in third with 160 points, with seven races of the season remaining.
