I think that is a very real possibility.
I wonder what the Lewis hating Ferrari fans will do then ?

I wonder what the Lewis hating Ferrari fans will do then ?
Probably just cheer for Kimi
Just support the other driver really. Can't stand Lewis.
Stoffel Vandoorne will serve a 35-place grid penalty at the Belgian GP due to a scheduled power unit change, McLaren have confirmed.
Both Vandoorne and team-mate Fernando Alonso are running upgraded Honda engines at Spa, but only the rookie has been hit with a hefty grid drop and will almost certainly start at the back this weekend.
"Unfortunately Stoffel will receive a grid penalty at his home grand prix, but it is important for us to introduce updates as soon as they are ready," said Honda's F1 chief Yusuke Hasegawa-San.
"It is positive that we have been able to introduce this next step forward so quickly, and we will continue to introduce updates throughout the remainder of the season."
These grid pens are just daft.

So he's starting at Zandvoort?
Hamilton looks mighty if FP1 timings are genuine.
The penalties for upgrades are crazy, we want teams to be fighting on an even keel as much as possible so having this rule on upgrading parts is silly.
Really looking forward to the next couple of weeks' F1. Love Spa & heading to Monza on Wednesday for my first GP experience

Anyone watching? Guy Martin on C4 at moment just absolutely loved motorsport
Love Guy Martin , down to earth, loves his tea.
Lewis out first in Q1 and out on the super soft boots.
Kimi already with problems with vibration in the rears.
both Merc's have engine changes this race, both on their 4th and last, tey have to do the rest of the season on this engine.
That is going to be tough, I see penalties for both in later races.

They'll have life left in the other three, it's just that they'd have wanted a fresh one in for Spa/Monza.
Massa out in Q1
Lewis with new track record in Q2.
Both Merc's look very fast.
Bad luck for Alonso.
"No power!"
"No power!"
cracking Qualifying for Lewis, another new track record and equals Schi for the most poles.
I would argue that was even more impressive from vettel. No idea how he got so close
Kimi would have been right up there with Lewis with a clean second run, shame for him. Ferrari should still get a 1-2 based on the race runs yesterday but Kimi needs to clear at least Bottas on the first lap.
Well done Seb! Great last lap!
Vettel showing the Ferraris not that far behind on pace.
Vettel got into Kimis slipstream in the last sector according to Toto, may be that helped
very good lap, but to equal the great Sch in poles is more impressive.
he just said the same , Kimi's slipstream help him
Without the context of equaling Michael (which is an incredible achievement when taking into account his longevity and the ridiculous domination in the early 00s), I reckon Vettel's lap was better as I honestly wasn't expecting Ferrari to be anywhere near.
Wider picture, I agree
C'mon Seb!
I think how the drivers handle the ultra softs is going to play a big part in this race
that is some crowd, looks impressive.
good start from Lewis and Seb.
Frigging can't believe it!!!!
not a good season for Max so far.
Vettel looks up for it.
Guy Martin helping with a pit stop !!
What a stop by hamilton.
Vettel and Hamilton are a class above everyone else.
I thought Raikkonen might have been able to help Vettel by slowing Hamilton down a bit but that didn't work out at all

Vettel is gonna make a go of this

watching this and working , did I hear that Lewis has a problem?
Ferrari will win today. They seem to have a much better package, I would get money on Vettel winning this year.
