On the BBC F1 podcast, Hamilton was reported as saying he'd lifted a little
on the descent down to Eau Rouge so that that Vettel was too close to get
the full tow along the Kemmel straight, which is why they were so close
at the top of the hill.
Vettel seemed to confirm at least that he thought he did get too close
but of course blamed himself for being too fast, rather than Hamilton
being too canny.
Just thought it was an interesting observation about how to manage the guy
chasing you down, when I presumed that from La Source to the end of the
Kemmel straight there was only one tactic, and that was flat out.
