Tonio ? ?This crazy race had a different story every lap!?
Tonio Liuzzi had an eventful race in Belgium that ultimately rewarded him with a point for 10th place. He was handicapped in the first half of the race by nose damage after contact with Jaime Alguersuari, and then he lost time ? but finally got a new nose ? with an extra stop after an incident with Sebastian Vettel. Finally towards the end of the race he was battling for 10th with Alguersuari when the Spaniard jumped the chicane. The penalty he subsequently received handed the place to Tonio. We asked him about his busy afternoon.

Adrian? ?5th because of good strategy and team work?
The result wasn?t quite as spectacular as last year?s, but Adrian Sutil did a great job to claim fifth place for Force India at Spa after a tricky race which saw both Adrian and the team make all the right calls. From eighth at the start he moved up to fifth, and when rain came near the end the switch to intermediate tyres was timed perfectly ? and might have gained him some positions had the leading four drivers struggled on that lap. We spoke to Adrian about his day.

The pitlane bristled nervously as all 24 cars took to the track early in Q1 to make the most of the conditions before a predicted rain shower. When it materialised half way through the session it lasted just a few minutes, giving a couple of minutes of drier running at the end. After a nail-biting lap both Adrian and Tonio passed into Q2 with the 12th and 15th quickest times.
