Live Commenting: Belgium - Qualifying
Free Practice 3 just added to the overall sense of confusion I’m getting from this weekend, but at least a couple of things were cleared up. Firstly, Honda are really struggling. Button only made a few feet from the pit lane before pulling off to the side of the track. There was no spectacular blowout or crash, just a depressing exit from the session. With Barrichello as the slowest man completing a lap today, the team really have their work cut out for them.
On to happier subjects, Heidfeld showed he does know what he’s doing by topping the time sheets, although Kubica still struggled down in 13th. Alonso continued his fine form so far this weekend to end up third. With many people featuring Alonso in their Fantasy Racers teams, there are plenty of fingers crossed that he can pull off something spectacular this weekend.
However, despite not finishing near the top, Massa, Hamilton and Raikkonen still look like the guys to beat. Massa braved only a few minutes of the session this morning, proving that he really doesn’t like the rain. The Ferrari has the pace, it’s all in the hands of the two men behind the wheel. Hamilton put in a blinder of a lap on his first go out, showing that he’s full of confidence, even if they may be a step behind their rivals this weekend.
Supposedly the rain has cleared up now for the rest of the day, but I wouldn’t place any bets on this. It’s been unpredictable so far, and if it carries on this way, we’re in for one hell of a qualifying session.
Let us know how you’re watching, via the internet or on the tv. ITV are streaming qualifying for users in the UK, and we have some links on our Formula 1 on the Internet page. No doubt we will find some more in the comments. There’s Live Timing to peruse, plus 5live to listen to. But don’t forget the most important place to be, click the triangle in the corner to visit the Live Commenting Live… Thing. I’ll be there, and so should you!

1st comment woo!
The rain should make qualifying interesting to say the least.
Massa on pole?
September 6th, 2008 at 11:55 amlou said:
hey everyone
My top 8 predictions for Quali are
1. Kimi
2. Lewis
3. Fernando
4. Felipe
5. Heikki
6. Vettel
7. Webber
8. Rosberg
September 6th, 2008 at 12:00 pmlou said:
If it’s raining during quali i don’t think Massa will have the confidence to do a pole worthy lap. I’m hoping that Kimi has been sandbagging this weekend… given that he ended the session in 8th…
September 6th, 2008 at 12:02 pmScott Woodwiss said:
afternoon everyone!
if the weather for qualifying is the same as it is here in norwich, i think we’ll see “spinning in the rain”.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:02 pmme said:
my qually predictions:
1) lewis
2) massa
3) kimi
4) kubica
5) alonso

Is there a dry line on the track?
September 6th, 2008 at 12:04 pmJeremy said:
I think Lewis then Mark Webber
September 6th, 2008 at 12:05 pmme said:
there was at the end of fp3, just looking for some weather info now.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:05 pmScott Woodwiss said:
Predictions -
If it rains: Lewis, Alonso, Vettel, Heidfeld, Kimi, Kovi, Kubica, Rosberg, Webber, Sutil
If it’s dry: Massa, Kimi, Lewis, Alonso, Kovi, Kubica, Trulli, Glock, Rosberg, Heidfeld
September 6th, 2008 at 12:06 pmKostia said:
Pretty good info on bbc http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/west_europe/rain.shtml
September 6th, 2008 at 12:08 pmDom said:
test
September 6th, 2008 at 12:08 pmme said:
in that case teams should be keen to get on with things. hopefully we’ll see some early q1 action.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:09 pmme said:
hi dom. you having issues?
September 6th, 2008 at 12:10 pmScott Woodwiss said:
hmm, bbc forecasts for today and tomorrow say sunny intervals for qualifying and light rain for tomorrow. Autosport says showers for today and light rain for tomorrow. looks like mixed signals for qualifying then.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:10 pmChristine said:
I’m always wrong about these things but if I was Ferrari I would go out early in Quali to make up for FP3.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:14 pmDom said:
Hi everyone. Thinking this is gonna be the most mixed-up grid order this season. Heres hoping for a surpise front-row.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:14 pmScott Woodwiss said:
wonder if the track will still be damp after free practice, or whether some of the support series cars will have dried the track up.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:14 pmlou said:
Christine, what about your predictions for quali?
September 6th, 2008 at 12:15 pmme said:
are ya brave enough to put your neck on the line?
September 6th, 2008 at 12:16 pmDom said:
A few issues elsewhere. Things seem to be working at Sidepodcast.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:16 pmScott Woodwiss said:
first me and now dom? you sure like to put the pressure on
September 6th, 2008 at 12:16 pmSteven Roy said:
If it is dy does anyone have a dry set up sorted out? Yesterday Lewis said they didn’t bother changing anything on the car because the track was a moving target and they didn’t want to get lost chasing it.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:16 pmChristine said:
Oh man, how many do I have to say?
September 6th, 2008 at 12:17 pmlou said:
erm top 5 or top 8 you choose
September 6th, 2008 at 12:17 pmSteven Roy said:
Unless there is really freak weather the two McLarens, two Ferraris and Alonso will be the top 5
September 6th, 2008 at 12:17 pmme said:
sounds like the same reason he didn’t come out until later today. i’m gonna pitch for mclaren and ferrari having dry setups.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:18 pmme said:
September 6th, 2008 at 12:18 pmChristine said:
Okay. KOV, MAS, HAM, HEI, RAI.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:19 pmme said:
brave girl.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:19 pmKostia said:
WTF lol
September 6th, 2008 at 12:19 pmChristine said:
Also gave it some thought as well, not just plucking random names from the air. Not sure if Alonso will put a spanner in the works though.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:20 pmDom said:
Gah, I always put Kimi to high up. Must try to stop this weekend.
1. Kimi
2. Fernando
3. Mark
4. Lewis
5. Felipe
6. Nick
7. Robert
8. Timo
Can’t think why my predictions are always wrong…
September 6th, 2008 at 12:20 pmChristine said:
Oh.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:20 pmlou said:
That bit of Hamilton winking into the camera at the start always bugs me.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:20 pmme said:
here’s hoping james allen calls pole position wrongly again.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:21 pmKostia said:
Nah I am joking Christine I can never make my mind up, so I shouldn’t really blame you.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:21 pmAlex Andronov said:
I want Kimi to be on pole to be honest. But I doubt it.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:21 pmlou said:
Wasn’t that hard
Top 8 tomorrow 
September 6th, 2008 at 12:22 pmScott Woodwiss said:
At least ITV agree with us about valencia
September 6th, 2008 at 12:22 pmme said:
ahh, you don’t know the half of it!
September 6th, 2008 at 12:22 pmAlex Andronov said:
Lets go for…
Kimi
Lewis
Massa
Kubica
Kovi
Alonso
Vettel
Trulli
September 6th, 2008 at 12:23 pmlou said:
yeah me too. I want to see him have a stella race tomorrow and win
Would be great to see him back in the fight.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:23 pmme said:
he was a bit anonymous early wasn’t he? forgot he was out there.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:23 pmScott Woodwiss said:
you we have to take into account the high possibility of rain. that’s why i made two predictions depending on the weather.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:23 pmlou said:
September 6th, 2008 at 12:25 pmKostia said:
Awww Ross you wish you were still there after Honda
September 6th, 2008 at 12:25 pmme said:
ross brawn saying on itv, ferrari do not get special treatment from the fia.
i guess he has no reason to defend them anymore?
September 6th, 2008 at 12:25 pmAlex Andronov said:
Yeah. I always forget about him for the race. But on qualifying he’s normally about.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:26 pmKostia said:
Agreed
September 6th, 2008 at 12:26 pmSteven Roy said:
Let’s see if he says that if he ever gets Honda into contention
September 6th, 2008 at 12:26 pmScott Woodwiss said:
1 win for kimi this season - could we say that if he misses out on points in spa, his championship is over?
September 6th, 2008 at 12:26 pmlou said:
Is that a slightly happy Kimi?
September 6th, 2008 at 12:27 pmScott Woodwiss said:
mind you, rosberg won the world championship with only 1 win, so i guess anything’s possible. this is F1 we’re talking about
September 6th, 2008 at 12:27 pmAlex Andronov said:
Not so sure about that. He doesn’t want his wins in the past to be tarnished.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:27 pmScott Woodwiss said:
keke, not nico
September 6th, 2008 at 12:27 pmme said:
if he doesn’t win here, i’d say it’s over isn’t it?
especially if massa is in front of him.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:28 pmSteven Roy said:
If Lewis had hit Kubica instead of Kimi, Kimi would be ahead of Massa.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:28 pmScott Woodwiss said:
that marshall is one very lucky bugger getting kimi’s rear wing as a souvenir

“Driver’s get frustrated and do fings wot they shouldn’t do.”
September 6th, 2008 at 12:31 pmSteven Roy said:
Also given all the problems he has at Honda the last thing he needs is the FIA against him. Let’s see what Stepney says if his book ever gets published
September 6th, 2008 at 12:31 pmScott Woodwiss said:
my dad said to me that apparently they’ve made changes to eau rouge this season? :S
September 6th, 2008 at 12:32 pmAlex Andronov said:
F1Wolf’s point (I think) from last week is key for Lewis. Lewis actually lost ground last week to Massa. He needs to remember who he’s racing I guess.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:32 pmme said:
do you think he’s even writing it?
i mean, i’d love to read it, but i can’t see it ever being published.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:32 pmlou said:
yay! Vettel is good at one lap commentries.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:32 pmScott Woodwiss said:
no idea why, but the top of vettel’s helmet makes me think he’s wearing a hat
September 6th, 2008 at 12:32 pmAlex Andronov said:
Absolutely If there is a bias then you don’t want to be on the wrong side of it.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:33 pmme said:
lots of up and coming commentators
September 6th, 2008 at 12:33 pmAlex Andronov said:
He seems to know what he’s taking about.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:34 pmChristine said:
Easier to talk in front of a laptop than in a helicopter
September 6th, 2008 at 12:34 pmAlex Andronov said:
I hadn’t thought about it. But I know what you mean.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:34 pmSteven Roy said:
Eau Rouge - flat
Blanchimont - flat
Something is rotten in the state of F1
September 6th, 2008 at 12:34 pmScott Woodwiss said:
I reckon that in this latter part of the season, apart from sinagpore, we’ll see vettel do well since he was racing at this point in the season last year.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:35 pmAlex Andronov said:
That sounds like a challenge. I think we need a live broadcast of Sidepodcast from a helicopter over a circuit.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:35 pmDom said:
I’m 100% backing Kimi (and i dont usually back Ferrari). If Kimi can turn his season around here, we’re in for a great end to the season.
Plus, I don’t have anyone else to back after seeing Honda’s recent pace.

Well… Jenson not that exciting to lsiten to.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:39 pmAlex Andronov said:
How about a Sidepodcast competition. Put all the raw footage up on drop.io and we can all edit it into an inside track. Best one wins (although I guess you’d have to watch them to judge).

Jenson is only 28 he has time.

He was alright in Monaco a few years back

Hello, again, forced to go out in torrential rain. At least we only need a drop of rain for excitment here.
As for predictions, I’m going for a Kimi hat-trick.

nah, she has a point. we filmed hours of footage at goodwood ‘07. it’s sat on a disk somewhere.

morning poppy.
people in spa are probably soaking right now.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:43 pmAlex Andronov said:
If Alonso is there next year I think things might be very interesting for Jenson.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:44 pmAlex Andronov said:
They did at least talk about Kimi for a while first.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:44 pmPoppy said:
Jenson and Alonso eh? Interesting…..you never know they could be great teammates

Lewis looking very confident…
September 6th, 2008 at 12:45 pmDom said:
Jenson should move to another racing series.
Its too early to say that. He’s still got a future in F1. If Honda will keep him for next year, which i’m guessing they will, he’ll be reaching prime world champion age. Whether he’s driving as well as he has in the past is difficult to say…
September 6th, 2008 at 12:45 pmme said:
itv not doing the fp 1, 2 + 3 wrap up this week. i liked what they did in valencia.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:45 pmScott Woodwiss said:
hmm, a package for brazil? that could be a crucial factor in lewis’ title bid.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:46 pmScott Woodwiss said:
might see it in singapore though
September 6th, 2008 at 12:46 pmSteven Roy said:
What is the point in being in a Honda when you are prime world champion age. Better to go win another championship than cruise round the back of F1
September 6th, 2008 at 12:47 pmAlex Andronov said:
I feel like they might get on. The interesting thing is having Alonso next to you really will mean that we can gauge Jenson for the first time in years.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:47 pmJon Waldock said:
because honda should be alot better next season…..probably…..
September 6th, 2008 at 12:47 pmScott Woodwiss said:
because he’s an idiot and should have gone back to williams?

Who is going to hire him?
September 6th, 2008 at 12:47 pmPoppy said:
it must be pretty tedious for him, perhaps next year he’ll have something he can work with, did Honda have their wind tunnel on upsidown or something these past couple of years?
September 6th, 2008 at 12:48 pmR.G (The Nurburgring/Sato/BMW Fan) said:
But Williams, apart from Australia, haven’t really done much better.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:48 pmScott Woodwiss said:
at least in the past couple of season they’ve scored more points.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:48 pmAlex Andronov said:
I think they did this because it was a new track. but I agree it was really good. ITV must know that some people only watch the sunday stuff. So the season catchup stuff should be on the Sunday more I guess.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:49 pmJon Waldock said:
no but the monocoque jenson used to win his first (and only…) gp got thrown around inside the windtunnel…..they should do that again!!
September 6th, 2008 at 12:49 pmAlex Andronov said:
Sun coming out?
September 6th, 2008 at 12:49 pmme said:
really?
would that make him any happy though?
September 6th, 2008 at 12:49 pmKostia said:
Everyone is too nice to Jenson, get a little aggression, get angry at him for not performing. I rarely see him make an impression on the f1 racing community
September 6th, 2008 at 12:49 pmme said:

He has plenty of time to go to a diffrent championship and win that. Right now he’s an F1 driver and with a team that can (and will) improve.

September 6th, 2008 at 12:51 pmSteven Roy said:
Exactly my point. He has no options in F1 so why stay in a back of the grid team for all these years?
We know he is not blowing Barrichello away and Barrichello rarely got close to Schumacher. Rubens is certainly not any better now than he was then so the last thing Jenson needs for his credibility is to get in a team with Alonso.
Next year’s Honda will not be in the top half of the grid.
They are currently running 4 different wind tunnels including one in Japan and they still have the worst car other than maybe FIF1

Interesting thing on ITV now about Toyota’s weather forecasting
September 6th, 2008 at 12:53 pmAlex Andronov said:
Isn’t Stephen talking about Alonso and Scott talking about Jenson?
September 6th, 2008 at 12:54 pmAlex Andronov said:
He’s been interviewed a few times recently. Do we know where we’re going?
September 6th, 2008 at 12:54 pmScott Woodwiss said:
that made me think of the weather forecast screen in Grand Prix 3, where it gave you a breakdown of what the weather was going to do in the practice/qualifying/race at 20% intervals. since when has any other f1 game done that?
September 6th, 2008 at 12:54 pmJon Waldock said:
i think he knows what he’s doing, he knows that next year will ahve a big improvement
September 6th, 2008 at 12:54 pmAlex Andronov said:
he’s going sorry.
September 6th, 2008 at 12:54 pmPoppy said:
Good point - I know not many people are fans of what Brundle called “dangly bits” but I rather like them - makes the whole car look just a bit mad “space age” almost which is a good thing and I think they’ll look a bit boring next year even if the lines are cleaner.
But then I have no taste whatsoever!

At Ferrari he had Jean Todt between him and the politics. At Honda he has Nick Fry. At Ferrari he had Rory Byrne designing the cars. At Honda he has…no idea. At Ferrari he had Nigel Stepney sorting out all the mechanics’ procedures. At Honda..no. At Ferrari he had Schumacher.
Ross Brawn on his own is not the answer and to be honest I am amazed he has not drafted in a few heavyweights

I think Ron was supposed to quit at the end of last season. He didn’t because he wants to win and leave. Now that he’s separated from his wife - who I believe had pressurised him to quit. It may be a different story. But I think Martin Witmarsh wants him to quit if they win this season.

Any of you have a good place on the Web that I can watch it… Non-UK
September 6th, 2008 at 1:05 pmScott Woodwiss said:
that’s got me thinking - why doesn’t f1 visit more longer circuits? i know some people will say “its because of the fans and stuff”, but circuits like spa offer a nice variety. I reckon if F1 ever went back to the USA, they should go to Road America. Fantastic circuit.

Looks like Hamilton’s driving style allows him to put a lot of heat into the tyres very quickly, the Ferrari is much gentler on the tyres and as such it takes a few laps.

nah he’s not ready yet. needs a season as a test driver.

I’m surprised Honda can’t seem to do much better. If turning your focus on 2009 does that to your performance, it might be interesting to see how the teams fighting for the championship go about this.
Focus on this year and the championship, and you might find yourself trailing the competition. Focus on 2009, and you’ll lose this championship…

Almost would be better for Alonso to consider STR, but better still stay at Renault!

Crikey it’s KRaikkonen!
September 6th, 2008 at 1:29 pmScott Woodwiss said:
kimi’s out first. they must think rain is on the way.
September 6th, 2008 at 1:29 pmChristine said:
Raikkonen first out - because he’s nervous about the weather, or just about his performance in general?

good point

Now is it me, or have the front wings stopped flexing?

thats not a bad shout actually, going on this years performance, that wouldnt be a bad move. he could do alot worse

if its just a stepping stone for ferrari then why not? if all things go well at honda next year he could stay… or go… it’s just a year
September 6th, 2008 at 1:31 pmRich said:
One of the reasons I suggested Alonso to STR is the ferrari engine deal - backdoor into the team?
September 6th, 2008 at 1:31 pmAlenyaa said:
No they haven’t!
Only flexing at super high speeds though it seems
