| Qualifying session 1 notes |
| From the beginning of the first qualifying session for the
2009 Belgian Grand Prix you could tell that all the usual front runners
were struggling for pace. By the end of Q1 the 5 drivers knocked out
were not a big surprise...and the bumped drivers were not helped by Luca
Badoer's final minute shunt which resulted in the session finishing under
yellow. The yellow flag sealed the fate of new F1 drivers
Alguersuari and Grosjean. |

| Q2 Notes |
| The craziness really began in Q2. You started to see
that Alonso was really struggling to put up a good time.
Even though the track conditions were ideal, Jenson Button seemed to be
really slow. Heikki, with rumors of his needing a good result from
here on out or he will be jobless at the end of the season, could not turn
a lap fast enough to save his job. Lewis, in the second McLaren also
had a disappointing
result. Jenson looked like a racer who has lost his edge qualifying
10 spots behind the hungrier Rubens. |

| Q3 Notes |
| FORCE INDIA GETS THE POLE!!! Wow, what an unexpected
starting order. Giancarlo Fisichella was fast during every session
as rumors swirl that he will replace Luca Badoer at Ferrari. Jarno
said he was also surprised by his second place starting position as he
claims to have a normal fuel load. Nick seemed unsurprised by his
third place grid position. RedBull have to be completely
disappointed by their 8 & 9th place grid spots as most of us thought
they would be the best car in Belgium this weekend. The race on
Sunday should be a wonderful spectacle as rain is never far away:) |
