Gonna win a ton of internets on this one!

All the Internets you can carry in your two front pockets👍

 

[Anghammarad]

The King of Spain?

Of course.

Unfortunately this is how he will look after the race

 

[niky]

I wouldn't want to be anyone on the Ferrari team this weekend.

 

[JGreens]

Meh, I'm bored and reddit's good for wasting time.
Prediction for the race: ABV

 

[Alex.]

Andre Billas-Voas?

Apparently Kimi called in "sick" today and will be missing the media sessions.

Smart move by Kimi; he knows that with the Ferrari rumors buzzing around, the media and others alike will not shut-up asking him about it, if he gives them a half a chance. But he's obliged by the team and the FIA (as far as I'm aware) to take part in the media sessions, if he's fit to do so. So simple solution; pull a sicky!

From Lotus F1 themselves.

According to Webber Lotus and Ferrari are the biggest threat to Red Bull.

[Wardez]

Really no idea how this weekend's gonna go down. Really looking forward to it!

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Well P1 is over and Alonso is top followed by the two Force Indias.

Full results here.

 

[lbsf1]

Very interesting how confident Button is for this weekend, even saying a podium is a possibility.

 

[ExigeEvan]

Tyre failure for Vettel.

Looks like a pretty devastating failure too, but Vettel returns to pits safely.

Is everybody on holiday?

What happened today could be the 2013 CS move from RedBull....

Unbelievable how the dominated FP2!!!

THey did same laptimes with both completaly different sector tomes...as far apart as 1 second... and still be ahead of everybody else by 0.8 seconds??

we are all fooled,or tomorrow it will rain and a Marushia willbe on pole( ;-) )...but FP2 whas seriously strange....listening to both BBC and SKY,nobody and me expected redbull to perform so well on a highspeed track!!

I believe Horner said that Webber and Vettel ran completely different setups but they produced similar lap times. I think Mercedes held back a lot though, 2 slowest cars in the speed trap IIRC.

Hope so. Always more fun watching a race when your favourites do good.

Great film from 1955 Belgian Grand Prix

I saw all practice 3 on camera cars, despite the decent 2nd place by Alonso this morning, I've seen lot of problems in some turns. Infortunately the car is VERY unstable at Rivage 8th and 9th turns. A nightmare, booth drivers can't make it right, countless of laps ruined because of that, even in the best lap, Alonso wasn't able to close the apex properly car understeer on entry and a second later oversteer drammatically. I was shocked to see this happening again and again, the car definitely suffer bad low speed grip and bad traction, while RedBull and Lotus can do it just fine.

 

[CinnamonOD]

Now that's interesting

 

[m8h3r]

What's VDG doing up in 3RD?

 

[CinnamonOD]

Just chillin'

 

[Pilitev]

Great result from VDG, I think he's having a great debut year so far.

 

[Barra333]

What's VDG doing up in 3RD?

That would be the drying track lottery...
The Dutch commentators got mighty excited though.

 

[JosVerstappen]

Good job flying dutchman!

 

[CinnamonOD]

I think Di Resta will get the pole

 

[mattythedog]

I think Di Resta will get the pole

I agree. They've really hit the jackpot with the conditions.

 

[m8h3r]

Think that's pole for Paul. Was going to put a Tenner on him for pole earlier too but didn't trust force India.

 

[CinnamonOD]

They really did
