It's been an absorbing season so far with different drivers and manufacturers showing performance gains at different track and in different conditions. Spa should be a ******* if it isn't heavy rain. Would quite like to see a wet qualifying but a dry race.

Jenson had a brilliant drive for once and not a fluke either, he did the time twice. I think I heard him complain of understeer in the early part of the session, must have been habit. What a line up at the front, if Maldonado has his way we are heading for a right pile up, unless they carve him up good and proper.

So looking forward to this one..........With the grid on its head with some names up the top that are not usually there it should be good..................Is this going to be Kimi's race...There must be a win around the corner for Lotus and Kimi......
On different note have you seen that former F1 Williams racer and Indy car racer Alex Zinardi is racing in the Paralympics handcycling race for Italy. Back in 2001 he nearly lost his life. in an Indy car race at EuroSpeedway Lausitz in Germany, with medics attempting furiously to keep him from dying on the track after a vicious 200 mph impact with Alex Tagliani. His spirit and determination kept him going and he is a great role model for what you can do even when faced with adversity as with most of the competitors taking part.I met him once and he was a true gent and somone who had not let his situation and the lose of his legs ruin his life.......

Well Jenson had a stonking race and Maldonado did not dissapoint jumping the start. Grojean, what an error, left poor old Lewis nowhere to go, resulting in a quite nasty pile up, Alonso was very lucky. Enjoyed the whole race, lot's of changing positions and different cars in the mix.

It's ruddy fantastic, especially when wet. We had a grid of 48 cars starting from the F1 grid, I was 2 foot from the bumper of the car in front. 47 cars heading into la source was interesting, made the F1 start look civilised!

I'd stopped on the grid box behind the car in front and the marshals just kept waving us forwards until we were that close so they could get all the cars in. I suspect they were also having a bit of a laugh at our expense though!
When we pulled away you couldnt see a darn thing for all the cars around. Had a bit of an ooops moment when the car in front dived suddenly right and revealed that one of the cars from the front had stalled on the grid, closing speed was about 50, in the wet.
Excellent circuit though, great fun through the middle sector. eau rouge was fun the first few times, but the bimmers lacked the power to keep it exciting for long. best was pouhon, fighting at the limit of grip I ended up going round there 3 abreast a couple of times. Think I laughed out loud each time I came out of that corner.
