soaking wet FP1 and looks like a wet FP2.
Looking at the BBC weather qualifying Sat could also be wet.
Also I did not realise that Kimi Raikkonen has won 3 out of the last 5 Belgium GP's
He won three in a row 04-07 (no race at Spa in 06) he was fantastic around this track.

Kimi was the Don at Spa.

I kinda hope its a dry quali just so we know the relative pace of the front 3.

Me too, although I do like Heidfeld too.

After this we should do a full race weekend on Spa in the wet on F110 in McLarens. :lol:
:D

God I do love spa though, if I was given an opportunity to drive around any track it would be spa just to experience going flat through eau rouge

1. Button
2. Hamilton
3. Vettel

McLaren radio : we are expecting the rest of the session to be dry

Ferrari radio (at the exact same time) : we are expecting rain in 5 minutes...

Great quali so far, its gonna be shit if Hamilton is out though because it leaves a free run for the Red Bulls.

I really don't know what Maldonado issue was, he's gonna get banned for that.

Buttons best chance of good points tomorrow now is changeable conditions, it's not the end of the world going out in Q2 these days because of so much that happens in race day just look at webber in china but it's not going to be easy for him tomorrow

Lewis has been told to kill the engine for the moment, hopefully they can get that car back out this session

I don't this we can predict anything for the race if its the same sort of weather as this, Button will have plently of pace and DRS to pass cars anyway.

I don't think Maldonado will be on the grid though.
