I think Webber will have a big say in the outcome still, his long run pace has been good recently. I'd like to see a Hamilton win ideally so we can atleast continue to kid ourselves we have a championship battle for a few more races.

this is from the BBC ,
Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel is on pole yet again, but he has some problems, which I'll come to in a little while
Wonder what that means ?

just seen this on BBC .
Vettel has blistered tyres,
and this
In light of Red Bull's blistering problems, interesting to see Pirelli have brought 17 new fronts "for possible use"

hopefully the engine has fallen out of the car or something like that
would be nice , but maybe this is his problem
Sebastian Vettel produced another stunning qualifying lap to take pole position ahead of McLaren's Lewis Hamilton and more than a second faster than Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber. But the German has a major problem in the race. His front tyres blistered in qualifying - when the rubber bubbles because it gets too hot, reducing grip - and he has to start on those tyres. That is likely to make him very vulnerable to those behind him."
makes it interesting, maybe the engine will fall out in the first corner instead then...
Sorry more from BBC.
Red Bull had asked for fresh tyres because both cars blistered fronts. They're not going to get them. Bad news for Vett and Web
Why are they asking for more tyres , they know the rules.
Why have Pirelli brought in new rubber , is there a bigger problem , we dont know about

do they think they are an exception to the rules or something? why bother asking!?
What have you got against Red Bull and more specifically Vettel? I just don't understand it
They actually asked for new tyres? Pit on the first lap, you will get some then.What have you got against Red Bull and more specifically Vettel? I just don't understand it
I like webber, vettel is a smug cnut on track imo
Oh and Horner is a right prick too
Granted about Horner, and I also find Webber quite likeable, but how is Vettel a smug cnut? All he's doing is taking advantage of being in the best car, and anyone who's going to win the World Championship needs to have a bit of an ego (see Alonso, Hamilton, Schumacher etc.). Though I wouldn't put Vettel in the same class as those guys.
You just have to hear him on the radio after a race or quals , he is a smug cnut.
Off the race he is a nice bloke or gives that impression.
Is there rain forecast?
I know the lack of rain forecast can mean diddly squat at Spa
I know the lack of rain forecast can mean diddly squat at Spa
Yep, he seems nice off the track but on the radio I want to punch him in the face, and that fecking finger too
There is no rain forecast but this is Spa and the rain can come at anytime
Yep, he seems nice off the track but on the radio I want to punch him in the face, and that fecking finger too
yes that finger , I want to snap the thing off
Shu is a fantastic driver , but boy did he make F1 boring , he was one of the reasons I stopped watching it.
Fantastic schumacher montage, would love to see him on the top step of a podium again
Forgot that jenson has fresh tyres for the start, if there are a few cars with blister problems that could play into his hands a bit
would be nice to see him win a race again , I must admit I like him more now that I used to do , seems a bit more human , if you know what I mean.
Petrov says rain 1hr in
oohhh just said they are expecting rain ,1 hour after the start.
They should interview Maldonado on the grid, ask him why he looks and acts like a spasticated cnut
was watching the interview with him before and he could not admit he was in the wrong.
It was clear what he did , IMHO he is very lucky to still be in this race.
Ferrari being very secretive , no interviews and they clearly did not want the TV round the car.
Apparently the camber of the cars is over the specified limit and that has caused the blistering and there is vettel having a go at the pirelli guy over it, clearly not happy
Vettel looks pissed talking to that Pirelli guy, great shots of his tyres after quali the inside shoulder was really badly blistered.
Wasn't it over the recommended level suggested by Pirelli
Yeah over the specified pirelli limits, they can go over the limit but thats the consequence of it
If Button is on the harder ones, I think that is wise, his engine should be enough to get him past people and then he'll be immense towards the end of the race with fresh slicks
Button and Schumacher on the harder tyre apparently
Vettels tyre looks nasty
Hell of a lot of smoke from Rosberg's
Great start by JB
EDIT
Well it looked good going into turn 1, only upto 12th
