Belgium Grand Prix 2010, Spa-Francorchamps Circuit - Race 13/19

Amended starting grid following penalties, couple of qualy ones as well for blocking. Not sure what you need to do to get a three vs five drop for blocking though

Code:
Pos Driver                Team
 1. Mark Webber           Red Bull-Renault
 2. Lewis Hamilton        McLaren-Mercedes
 3. Robert Kubica         Renault
 4. Sebastian Vettel      Red Bull-Renault
 5. Jenson Button         McLaren-Mercedes
 6. Felipe Massa          Ferrari
 7. Rubens Barrichello    Williams-Cosworth

22. Pedro de la Rosa      Sauber-Ferrari
23. Lucas di Grassi       Virgin-Cosworth

*   Five-place penalty for gearbox change
**  Three-place penalty for impeding Rosberg
*** Five-place penalty for impeding Yamamoto
*** 10-place penalty for Barrichello incident in Hungary

And due to multiple penalties and the order in which they were applied Rosberg in effect drops two places, Buemi one, Glock three and Schumacher ten.
 
Just finished the 8am pit lane walk and pit stop practice. Significantly Ferrari kept both their cars in the garage suggesting they want to keep new features away from the public eye. Red Bull told me not to take pictures of the back of their car! I only had my 70-200 fitted. If I'd had the 300F2.8 on they would have been really twitchy. Don't think the "Guest of Ferrari" badge I was wearing helped :D

how come you get to go as a guest of ferrari anyway? mainly because you bought a ferrari?

cant see them letting everyone who buys a ferrari be a guest though? or there would be a long waiting list.

And due to multiple penalties and the order in which they were applied Rosberg in effect drops two places, Buemi one, Glock three and Schumacher ten.
yea how ridiculous, surely if penlaties were applied in the order they were recieved then schumacher shouldnt be dropping 10 places?
 
mayhem at the moment in gp3 as rain fails at La Source turning it into a sheet of water. At least 3 cars spinning off at La Source

edit: as seen on on race replay for yesterdays race.

oh LOL - gp3 got even better. With time running out under SC, SC car comes in with 30s of race left. Leader slows pack right down to ensure time runs out before the startline so the race finishes. Leader is on slicks so can argue he was driving slowly to make sure he didn't go off.
brilliant

plus the winning car finishes with the nose shearded off from going off at La source.
 
Local weather update: a few degrees warmer than this time yesterday. Overcast but track dry.

EDIT: looks like there has just been a small shower but I'm looking at La Source and it's dry.
 
ok my last 2 posts were about a replay from yesterdays gp3 - doh. Just ignore the time on them and believe they were posted yesterday at the right time.
live gp3 now starting
 
That is wrong, though. La Source was wet when Hamilton was doing his lap, without that he would have been on pole by a margin. My prediction is Hamilton getting past Webber either at T1 or Les Combes and running away with it, rain or not.

hamilton said he ran wide in the first corner of his final lap which cost him around 3 tenths, so if thats true he would have got pole by 2 tenths atleast.

dont think vettel would have done as good a lap.

Qualifying analysis - McLaren ripe to challenge Red Bull?
Changing weather conditions played havoc in qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix, especially in Q1 when it rained while some cars were still out on slick tyres. Q2 was dry, but the onset of rain again after the first runs in Q3 again made life difficult for the survivors. In the end Red Bull took their 12th pole position in 13 races, but McLaren ran them mighty close. We take a team-by-team look at the pre-race form…

Darn it, won't be able to watch it live..

Come on Knip, more rain dancing needed.

Edit - And why do BBC never upload FP3 Highlights?
 
Im going to be doing my best rain dance people, and have told the dog in no uncertain terms if he gets on my lap he will get booted off! :D

I was thinking I might start about 10 to 1, and then we might have some fun at the start. :p
