Its painful to have been at this track only 10 days ago and now having to watch this race on tv

Yeah but I love watching Spa since I've been there now. It's the one place I really want to get back to.

I'm really keen to see this weekend if people can hold Blanchimont and the back end of Pouhon flat with the DRS open in Quali. Personally I'm bummed they are banning it through Eau Rouge even for Quali - where's the challenge gone in F1's!!?

Why don't you just find and internet peepshow and get the girl/s to say saucy things to you like "oooh oooh eau rouge" or "spank me on my Blanchimot" or "you can park your bike in my Bust-top"

Do you have a number for me to try? Sounds like a plan!

I was only thinking I didnt get any photos of girls from Budapest...which is something I need to be beaten for. There is something in the water in that town.

Fark Nurburgring...Spa is the place to go to. You smile like an idiot just walking around the place. I will get some pics up over the weekend of the trip now I dont have to worry about my earlier concerns

Agreed. Did you find out any dates for next year by chance??

I was also watching FIA GT3's on Speed during the week and they were racing at the Slovakia Ring - needs to be on our list.

Michael Schumacher was the fastest man at Spa on Friday morning, however, he was just one of two drivers to set a time before the rain.

However, Schumacher, who crossed the line with a 1:54.355, was one of only two drivers to set a time in the opening ten minutes before the rain came down. The other was his team-mate Nico Rosberg, who was second quickest, 0.474s off the pace.

Jenson Button was the quickest of the drivers in the wet, taking third place with a 2:02.740.

Meanwhile, it was a dismal start to his Renault racing career for Bruno Senna, who crashed at Turn 9 when he lost control on the wet track.

But it was Senna who made his on the barriers as he crashed rearwards into the tyre barrier at Turn 9. Mark Webber headed out, taking third place despite struggling through the Bus Stop. Fernando Alonso claimed fifth place before being dropped as Sebastian Vettel took fourth behind his Red Bull team-mate.

Paul di Resta's morning came to a premature end as he went off at Turn 9, hitting the tyre barrier with the right side of his car. The Force India driver's crash brought out the red flags with 16 minutes remaining due to the position where he was car was stranded. Practice resumed after 10 minutes with Massa improving to third place, Hamilton finally setting a lap time, a 2:04.301, which put him into third place.

However, it was Button who finished in the P3 slot, fastest of those in the wet as the P1 and P2 times were both set by the Merc GP drivers when the track was dry.

i was just going to ask how long do you think bruno would be on the track for before he crashed but he beat me to it.

Nick Heidfeld is taking Lotus Renault GP to the High Court after the team axed him in favour of Bruno Senna.

The team confirmed earlier this week that Senna would replace Heidfeld at this weekend's Belgian GP with the nephew of the late Ayrton Senna also contesting the Italian race in two weeks' time.

However, Heidfeld is adamant he has a valid contract and is now taking the team to court over his axing.

His legal representative Dr Stefan Seitz said: "The interlocutory decision of the court does not infringe on the fact Nick has a valid contract to be one of the two main drivers of the team.

"This position is disputed by the team for apparently purely financial reasons, but we do not intend to rest before Nick's legal position has been fully restored."

Meanwhile, the German's manager Andre Theuerzeit is determined to see the 34-year-old return to a Renault race-seat from the Singapore GP onwards.

"I am disappointed the team is allowed to let another driver take Nick's seat for the next weekends," said Theuerzeit.

"However, I certainly am confident we will be able to enforce a fair solution for Nick in the further proceedings."

would you really want to though? surely the powers that be would make his life somewhat unpleasant until the remainder of his contract. he'd be better off just trying to get a payout. but then again, i suppose he wants to stay in the game.

baaaaaaaahahahaha, love your work mate

That's what no talent gets you, it was predicted here on SAU first !

Fair crack of the whip. You cant be too hard on him. His first time in the car, on those tyres and in the wet at Spa. Others were going off as well...but must have knocked his confidence. He needs to try and build up to a pace and think about getting to a point where he can give it his best in the race at Monza, he needs to work up to that weekend. He isnt going to do anything this weekend other then ruin his chances.

After Monza we will see if he is trending towards the shitness level of PK Jr or somewhere better then that....but even then thats not really enough time. I suspect he will be booted for my man Romain Grosjean anyway so not much he can do unless a Brazilian sugar daddy comes to his aid. Note that Grosjean topped GP2 practice with no spins/biining etc though something has just gone wrong with his quali as he is nowhere
