I'll take a flyer here. It will rain and Red Bull (Ricciardo) will romp and stomp with their new found balance and pace.

interesting quali; top 2 no surprise but the rest!

Ferrari seem to issues with Kimi stopping o track and Seb not making much impression in Q3.

Great to see Botta and Williams taking 3rd and Grojean doing well in a team thats all but broke and sold.

The time diff between the top 2 and rest will make easy prediction for tomorrow unless we have another dramatic event at the start........did I mention Grojean

I loved Hobbo's comment attributed to Barry Sheen about how the motor sounded agricultural. The lap times were a breath of fresh air

The Mercedes boys could have used their prime tire for Q2 and saved another set for the race with their pace. Lewis is running more down force than Nico so even if it rains tomorrow, he'll still have an advantage. It's going be a long boring race if it doesn't rain.

Poor Kimi...

Pirelli was lucky that nobody was seriously hurt this weekend.

we get the world feed in Canada with David Couldhart commentating; on lap 14 he's talking about Lotus doing well under difficult circumstances and keeping their 'peker' up........hillarious

Predictable 1st and 2nd and good fight for the top 8 (10)..........Ferrari gambled on tyres and didnt pay off, Williams screwed up there tyre change and lost huge.......good for Grojean doing well.......unbelievable attrition early in the race.

Fantastic race conditions for Spa.....shall have to watch the replay

Vettel really pushed those tires though at 27 laps. His failure was different from Rosberg's during practice.

You mean Bottas's one medium rear tire and softs on the rest ? I have never seen that happen before.

I don't know if it helps, but the new MB rear wing looks cool!!

Nice drive by Lewis.
