    Contrary to expectations of dry weather for the morning (this is Spa indeed: unpredictable weather!), it has rained somewhat at dawn and the track is still damp.
    First session will be wet on a drying track; sun expected for the afternoon session.

    Screw this, I'm gonna get some sleep....

    What's the chances it's dry later I wonder?

    They'll all be whining they don't have enough inters/wets soon I guess. :(

    Nite all,
    Cheers,
    Ian

    It's not raining just wet in parts of the track. Once all the back markers start doing laps we should see a dry line.

    Bianchi just did a 2.07.5 on inters.

    Button now on a 2.00.5 on inters.

    Felipe just said that "the track is too wet in places for slicks, but still not damp enough for inters"...typical Spa.

    No timed lap yet for most of the "big boys": Hamilton, Rosberg, Alonso, Webber, Vettel...
    Track should be completly dry in about half an hour...

    You better get an umbrella, Bas; according to Météo-Belgium, rain is expected for the Qualis tomorrow (not 100% sure, but showers will occur, question is when) and most probably for the race (66%), with cold weather...

    its more aimed at fp for me, as they generally dont go out much with rain then, except for today it seems. quali and race its awesome.
