Sam Bird has won a great victory which has controlled since the beginning of it, and showing great driving skills and great experience in the moments that he had to prove it.
First the race was expected to be a big fight between Bird, Leimer and Calado the three fastest drivers during practice. Track was little damp but the race was declared dry. Sam Bird gets the victory while Leimer would lost a position in the start, now in third place, Calado was very motivated and attacked from the first corner. Meanwhile Rossi followed them and end up getting a podium (well deserved) at the end of the race. Ericsson meanwhile slowly and quietly put himself in second place with a good strategy would allow him to be on the podium.
On lap No. 3 De Jong crash in Eau Rouge after a light touch on his back wheel in the first vertex of the curve trying to defend his position in a group of 4 riders. The safety car appeared in the track. Once that restart of the race only one lap later, Nasr would be forced to retire when colliding with teammate Palmer, the Brazilian will suffer a penalty of 5 positions after causing the accident
Bird was unstoppable, the other drivers have fought each other, Ericsson with his strategy and his good work on the track was placed second. Rossi despite attacking to Ericsson in the last laps but he did not get pass him
Trumman leading the race for quite some time, but without making his mandatory pit stop, Bird would not pass him even though it was much faster, thus avoiding an accident that would leave him out of victory. Trumman come into the pits on the last lap and he would finish twelve position
Sam Bird now he is totally fighting for the championship after this victory and with the good work of Russian team Time is one of the favorites for the championship. Four drivers will compete for the championship with only 14 points of difference: Coletti, Nasr, Leimer and Bird.
Tomorrow again will be another championship race at 10.35 am, where there are greater chances of rain expected. Reverse grid will make the race exciting with all favorite drivers recover positions. Calado will start from pole. Strategies will be key due to weather conditions.
