2013 Formula One Shell Belgian Grand Prix

The BBC and Sky will be loving this. Most of us won't.

Rosberg is such a spoilsport. A very good lap from him.

 

[CinnamonOD]

Rosberg is the man

 

[dhandeh]

Rosberg is a legend.

Fixed.

 

[Tzun]

Its ruined!!

 

[CinnamonOD]

I see HAARP involved in this

 

[mattythedog]

That was the best session in ages.

 

[Dennisch]

Hamilton on pole.

I agree, matty. Best session in a long time. 👍
Let's hope that tomorrow will follow this excellent day.

 

[Wiegert]

The most eventful final 5 seconds I could expect in Q3.

 

[m8h3r]

Well I just saved myself a Tenner. 30 seconds more rain and tomorrow's race would look so different.

 

[dhandeh]

I would like to see the footage where Di Resta's face goes from smug to stupid.

 

[Tzun]

Hamilton four poles in a row. First time in his career. I really wanted to see Paul at pole

 

[NINE_HUNDRED]

Amazing how fast the track can change like that.

 

[TheCadabers]

Wow what a session!

 

[Wiegert]

A McLaren sitting as high as 6th on the grid is more of a shock than the possibility of seeing a Force India on pole this season.

Nice to see Button getting well into the top 10 though.

 

[TheCadabers]

Really would have loved to seen di Resta on pole.

Hamilton said he ran on in turn 1, from memory he started the lap quite close to Vettel, I then saw him quite far behind Vettel half way around the lap but coming onto the home straight you could see how much closer he was. I tried looking at the sector times on the F1 website but they seem to be taking the faster Q2 times into account so I can't see the differences.

This is why Spa is the best track...

IN THE WORLD

Hah, oddly, I've just had published an article I wrote yesterday about why Spa is the best track in the world

 

[Ardius]

What's VDG doing up in 3RD?

He ran 3 laps (IIRC) on slicks at the end of Q1, which allowed him to get the heat in them perfectly timed as the track got dry. It was a gamble that both Marrusia and Caterham went with and it paid off.
That's the difference being on the correct tyre at the right time can make.

Kinda figured whose it was when it showed up on my FB feed...

 

[SagarisGTB]

Bad luck for Rosberg. Destroys everybody on the first two laps, but then Hamilton and the Bulls get a 3rd lap started before the checkered flag and it's all for naught.

Like! Like!

Oddly, it's attracted exactly the opposite kind of comments to the 'Ring one I posted a month or so back. Seems you can praise a track without ever going there, but not hate one...

 

[gurizzi]

Tomorrow's race is going to be very interesting & exciting. I'm going to say Nico Rosberg will take the win because it will take more than just speed to win. Enjoy the race all! 👍

 

[BHRxRacer]

Gutted. Mostly because the radio station spoiled the results for me on my way home to watch quali, but even more so when I saw how it happened. Can Hamilton get any more lucky this season?? It was obviously a last man to the line the last couple of minutes and guess who it was..

Exciting though. Up until I saw the RedBulls' times I thought I heard wrong in the radio and I was up on my feet. Di Resta must be crying.

I don't see the top 4 changing tomorrow unless the race is either too hot, or too wet.

 

[Gedi69]

Just watched the F1 Q and what can I say but what an eventfull last 2 mins....wow how guted is di'resta.

Great timing just incredible from Hamilton!

Just watched it. Terrific Quali.
