Saturday at Spa
How will it go tomorrow in practice and in qualifying?
Kimi, while quickest on Friday, was still a full second behind Michael's lap record and since lap times have fallen by a second at each venue so far, what is to come Saturday? Will there be a 1:41 something? Who will put it together? I believe that Michael will beat his own track record on Saturday. There will likely be another 6 cars under the old record as well. This is not a who will take pole question though. |

Depends on the weather.
Maybe Kimi can get a pole lap in before it rains and Michael will be down the back |

Well, he's won from the lower midfield, rather than the back - and that was helped by further mixed conditions in the race.

It's not because of rain - it's because of fog.
Fog = medical helicopter can't fly. Medical helicopter can't fly = no cars on track. |

Looks as though Eau Rouge has claimed yet another car - this time Gianmaria Bruni.
Judging by the commentary, it was bigger than Briscoe's. Any pictures yet? |

He's safely out of the car.
Session red-flagged and won't be restarted. |

Bruni lost it on the very exit of Eau Rouge at the top of the hill. Spun round at high speed but managed to avoid any major contact with the wall, just swiped his wings off from what I could see. Ended up in the track which caused the red flag.
