Start
Nico Rosberg led the cars to the La Source hairpin at the start but Verstappen and the Ferrari drivers were on a collision course.
Jenson Button
Jenson Button’s race ended when he was hit by Pascal Wehrlein on lap one.
Kimi Raikkonen

Great image of Verstappen and Raikkonen!
You can see that the chasing car wants to overtake on the right where the leading (slower) car is leaving some room. Then the leading car closed the gap.
And that was at the start and not Kemmel straight.
