Whoever wrote the script of Belgium GP has to be someone who's fond of action movies - the kinds where cars slide, screech, jump over and run into one another. Even the slowest part of the track - the pit lane wasn't spared. Besides the heartbreak and grim reaction on Nicole Scherzinger's face when her boy toy crashed at turn one, there were 3 more incidents in & around the pit lane which caught stewards' eye.
Rookie driver Romain Grosjean was responsible for causing a multi-car pileup at the first corner of Belgium GP. The Lotus driver started the race from 4th row on the grid on P8, alongside Lewis Hamilton. As the red lights went off, he moved left to get ahead of Lewis Hamilton and as the corner approached, he moved further left trying to squeeze ahead of the Brit. Clearly misjudging the braking and width of his car, Grosjean ended up colliding with the former world champion and it soon spiraled into 4-car pile. When the dust settled 4 drivers - Romain Grosjean, Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso & Sergio Perez were out of the race. The later duo had started their race from P4 & P5.
