   McLaren better than perhaps expected, if Hamilton can get a 2nd or 3rd on the grid he’s looking pretty strong for the race tomorrow. Expect Alonso to be in there too.

      How are they better than expected? Their strong points should enable them to dominate this race together with Ferrari. Anything but victory in Spa and Monza is a demise. It’s the same thing for Red Bull on tracks like Catalunya, Silverstone or Hungary.

         Agreed. Going on the characteristics of the cars McLaren should be up front.

            but they won’t be. i’m thinking another red bull 1-2.

               My money is on a Red Bull 1-2, but McLaren being 2nd and 4th (thats still up front) I don’t think is being better than expected. Lots of long straights, so its a good chance for McLaren to be somewhat closer to Red Bull, and even compete with Red Bull.

         When you have the 3rd best aero package and you come to Spa and its middle sector, expect to struggle. The F-Duct is a saving grace, not a magic carpet.

         Nice try, though.

      In a dry qualifying session I’d still expect Red Bull to lock out the front row here. But if these showers hit it’s much harder to say what will happen.

   I really hope for Mercedes that they can do better than that – it does show that they were right to focus on 2011 already I guess. Schumacher will be dead last this way at the start.

   And indeed Well done Senna. Petrov again about a second behind Kubica – a bit disappointing (not to mention Luizzi who had his car waiting in the garage while others did fast laps). What happened to Kovalainen to be so far behind Trulli?

   Sutil and Kubica have been impressive all weekend, I wonder if one of them can nick a top 5 or higher.

   Not looking good for Schumacher – if the grid was decided on FP3 times, he’d be starting twenty-fourth and last …

      He’s meant to be going for a wet set up so maybe the gamble might pay off

         Might get interesting for the race, i would love it if we had Schumi getting on the podium in the rain. That would show he’s still up to something.

   Good job Webber, Hamilton and Kubica. And good job we’re at Spa this weekend and not Valencia as we would have been if the calendar hadn’t been changed. I live in Valencia and we have been having a heatwave – 44 degrees in the circuit area yesterday although cooler today. That would have played havoc with the teams on their return from the summer break. Can’t wait for your live streaming tomorrow, Keith.
