So far this season, anyone starting from pole usually had a poor start and result. It was along that line, as Mark Webber who started from the front at the Spa had a disastrous start.

It seems his car reacted slow as there were problems with the anti-stall device, and was passed by other drivers as the race began.

The early race front pack consisted of Hamilton, Button, Kubica and Vettel in that order, while Webber was seventh place.

As Hamilton stretched his lead, Button kept close, while there was a growing gap as Kubica began to trail behind.

Vettel the faster car in fourth, was stuck behind Kubica, but when he finally lapped the Renault driver, and chasing Button, disaster struck.

The young German collided with Button as he try to pass him at the sharp Bus Stop chicane.

With the accident, Webber capitalised on the confusion to play catch-up, and admirably finished second.
