SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Sebastian Vettel said he timed his move on Lewis Hamilton to perfection as he swooped past the Mercedes to take the lead of the Belgian Grand Prix.
Vettel went on to win the race by 11 seconds, reversing the result of last year's race at Spa-Francorchamps when Hamilton was able to keep the Ferrari driver at bay. But this year, Vettel was able to learn the lessons of 12 months ago and passed Hamilton at the very point the Mercedes driver defended successfully defended against him last year.
"On the first lap, I had great start -- I'm not sure Lewis saw me -- he pushed me quite far to left," he explained.
