I would have never predicted that podium after qualifying. Out of respect for others who have not watched it yet, I'm not going to post the qualifying positions.

The weighs have not been published yet either, but WOW>>>>>>> unbelievable!!!!!

Räikkönen fuels Ferrari exit speculation
29 August 2009


Kimi Räikkönen has said that he is certain to race in Formula One next year but the Finn also revealed that, should it not be with the Ferrari team, it would be with another. It is rumoured that the 2007 World Champion is going to be replaced by predecessor Fernando Alonso at the Italian team in 2010.



"If for some reason I am not at Ferrari next season I know I'll have a seat at another team in the paddock," Räikkönen told The Telegraph. "It's not a problem. Other teams want me.

"I'm too young to retire. I have a contract with Ferrari for next season. If I didn't want to race next season I would not have signed a contract."

Pete must have not set this up correctly results are always posted , those who have not seen know to stay away ...


Firstly , it is fantastic to be at Spa again , what an amazing circuit regardless of how many times you see it

To run laps in the 1.45 time range at SPA is mind boggling , they have changed the cars , tires , made the engine smaller and it is still amazing to watch an F1 car at full song ...... Simply amazing


Also we have to give Kudos to the rule makers , they have taken alot of heat over the years , with these stupid rule changes and yet we still end up with amazing results regardless , now we have a force in India


What an amazing Qualy , the best for me so far this year ......


Larry still waiting ........

Pete , amazing how much you know , Fisi is not even in your Poll .......

Pete,

If the current qualy results prove anything it's that you really need to include ALL drivers in a poll.

Quali 1 was no surprise especially who crashed out last.

Quali 2..............wow that was not how the play book was written. JB, FA, HK, LH all out.

Quali 3...............the Force is now in F1. Jordan had great results at Spa perhaps FI inherited the ability. We have the BBC feed in Canada; Brundle and company were speechless.

RB was the highest qualifier of the top 4 for the WDC. The Red Bull cars may score points..............JB starts 14th and will be lucky to do well.

Then again it is Spa where the weather and racing are all subject to massive change.

Lets get it on..............can't wait.

I wonder how much fuel Kimi has on board. After his excellent start in Spain, I expect him to gain a few positions on the start tomorrow.

Has everyone's fuel loads been published yet?

Thanks guys. I think if Kimi gets around Kubica and Barricello at the start, then he has a good shot at a podium. Looking at those weights, I'm curious if the KERS can overcome the advantage of the lighter cars at the start.

I hope Ferrari dumps Badoer after this race. The Speed guys were talking about Fisi taking over for the rest of the season. Why not? It can't get any worse than the slowest guy on the grid.
