2011 Belgian Grand Prix in pictures

As we headed into the mid-season break last month it seemed as though Ferrari and McLaren had closed the gap on Red Bull. Combined they had won three races in a row. However, the Belgian Grand Prix showed that Red Bull were having no more of that and managed to score a comfortable 1-2 victory; the team’s tenth Formula One quinella.

In the end Vettel and Webber took the top two places with a reasonable degree of comfort. Not a bad result, really, when you consider their pre-race tyre dramas or that the high speed nature of Spa is not really suited to the RB7.

A special mention to Michael Schumacher, too, who finished a very creditable fifth after starting from last place on the grid. Notably, Nico Rosberg was one place behind in sixth, despite storming to the lead on the first lap.

After the break there’s a further 95 images to help you recapture the vibe.
