2012 FORMULA 1 SHELL BELGIAN GRAND PRIX: RACE *** SPOILERS ***

Just read Paddy Lowe's interview on "Autosport"; he says that things may well be reversed between the two McLaren drivers during the race, Hamilton having opted for a race oriented set-up, the one choosen by Jenson was very adapted to qualifying, but maybe not so to race...Lowe suspects also that Räikkönen has choosen a more race-oriented set-up.

Weather seems to be confirmed as sunny, cool to mild (18°c) without Rain...

 

Good morning! Looks like I got up in time today.

 

Greetings to the usual suspects. Saubers will fade away, points for Britney and Grosjean on the podium. Crystal ball cloudy otherwise but if any of the three above come good, I'm buying a powerball ticket later today.....
Go Fred and Ice.

 

Happy race dayyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I predict JB will get this. Paddy is just trying to make LH feel better. LH said it all when he said he gave up .4 with the old wing. Thats a big margin.

Nice MS spot on SKY now

 

SPEEDCORE any links? Same as yesterday??

 

Slept with my fingers crossed for the start, although...those three young guns all fired up on the three first rows...mmmh?
Well, either Jenson or the Kimster on the first step of the podium woud make my day. Good race to you all.

 

GP2 race was excellent today. tires falling away in the last lap made for brilliant viewing. few costly mistakes for some!

 

MS KERS is down. Being replaced. Battery pack

 

Morning' all.

I wonder if MS will keep that front wing? [For the non BBC viewers, it lists all his 300 gps. Very cool.....]

Wide open race IMO - No predictions from me!.......

 

Come on Ian live on the edge.....give us your call on this race

 

Schumi car is all set now....

 

Good morning/afternoon everyone. 25 minutes to go. No prediction from me either, I have no idea how this ones going to end up.


Mark

 

Nice replay of JB's pole lap. Simply perfect!

 

Many thanks!

 

That wing is cool, hope it stays on during the race...

About half the drivers in my picks for the top 10 aren't in it so far. GP2 action was great, lets hope for a repeat of that and a win by Kimi!

 

I heard it was Bernie

 

Its gonna be a long race.....I never hear drivers say this....ever

 

Nice helmet Martin Brundle lol1

 

I'm a Ferrari and Alonso fan through and through, but I would love to see Kamui take home his first win, but for some reason I don't think it's going to happen.

My predictions for the Top 3:

1) Button
2) Kimi
3) Alonso

 

Gee they've really giving Lewis and his tweeting a hard time
