Good to see the Force India going forward. what is the chances of Giancarlo Fisichella winning the race and webber on podium?

I'd say about as likely to happen as Badoer finishing in the top ten. i.e. it's going to take monumental stuff-ups by the other teams and drivers, and potentially an act of gog... but it's not impossible!

i can see badoer's got no chance of getting on to top 15, but i think the force india have some good pace, i think they have a chance but, i'm eyeing on kimi and vettel they are the deadly one on the grid. i dont think rubens has the pace. but yes your right a monumental stuff-ups by the other teams and drivers is the key to tonights race.

about badoer, this is his last race for the ferrari. i'm really hoping they look at michael closely and give him another medial test. it's good to see him race again.

Crazy crazy qualifying results. Fisi does have some good raw pace here and if there is any place to show your talent, Spa is it. The greatest track on the F1 calendar in my opinion. It would be great to see him step in at Ferrari until Massa is better as well. It would make his dreams come true plus I think he'd do alright.
Cheers,

Gog? is that something worshipped in India?

[revhead1016]

if fisi win the race i dont think force india will let him go. they will worshipped him in india. but i think alonso will go there. ferrari want's a world chap rather than one time winner. but it's good to see some good fast italian driving the car, compare to badoer.

i think they called it giancarlo is the one they worshipped in India.

[revhead1016]

good to see fisi up on the podium. blody good race!!!!

[MattyT]

Much better race then the last few. Spa is such a beautiful course!!

Monza should be interesting.

[revhead1016]

yes indeed. looking forward to monza. speculation still who will be driving for ferrari.

God bless KERS! I was beginning to worry that Ferrari might go the whole season without a win

It's a real pity Webber couldn't capitalise on Button being taken out. I reckon that lolly-pop guy's gonna get a wrap on the knuckles.

As for Badoer...
*sigh* I guess it's times like this that Ferrari wish they had a juniors development program so they could call on a young talent to fill Massa's shoes. What worries me most is that they might just give Badoer a shot at Monza "because he knows the track"... but he'll still be disappointing. In his day he was good, but not anymore. It's like pulling Carl Lewis out of retirement to take on Bolt. A new up-and-coming athlete stands a better chance of taking on Bolt than Lewis, even though in his day Lewis would have probably been faster than the youngster.

Anyway, I guess we'll just watch this space.

Arctra, Brundle was saying that when Webber took off from the pits, he had too much wheelspin which may have contributed to the incident. (and that my have been caused by too much dust.

i suspect this is one incident where it might be difficult to apportion blame.

Having said that, a drive thru penalty is worth at least 20 seconds (or more), which would have put webber in 4th spot.

I feel sorry for lollypop man either way, he must be feeling very down right now

[Jarred]

where did weber end up placing?

[static1800]

He ended up 9th, was in a good hunt for the podium before the drive through.

With a DNF next to his name, Button did the best overall for the Championship!!
Have to agree with Matty, Spa is an amazing course!!
Barrichello was lucky to hold off Rosberg and Webber on the last 2 laps...seeing him drive down pitlane with his car on fire showed how lucky he was.

Just off topic...slightly, did anyone watch the British Touring Car Championship after the F1 on One HD?? Pretty entertaining stuff!! Jason Plato off 5th Gear races in a Chevvy Lacetti. Anyone know why VW isn't in on this action? Golf/Jetta??

Cheers,
Jayse.

i think that would be webber's big advantage to take some points off button, which is a shame he didn't get any points. the good thing about this one though is the championship is still open and 4 drivers are fighting for it, and it's going be more excitng.

Yes Jayse i did watch the BTCC. awesome racing, more excitng that V8's. do you think?

About VW. not sure about that, may becouse they already running formual 500 or formula VW in europe?
