2 answers correct, but that can be put down to the fact that my ability to remember facts about anything in depth or over the entirety of my life is shockingly poor.

Although I am trying my best by reading more facts and stats and also quizzing when I get the chance. Alas I think my age may prove the bigger obstacle, now that I am over 25 the ability to remember stuff is apparently, err, where was I.. !!!

Back to the good stuff .

Qualifying Soon

I'm on it! Did you see what happened to Rosberg in practice earlier?

Yes, looks like a one off and he seems to be unfazed by it looking at the quail session so far.

Oh dear Kimi, such bad luck.

Yup. it's not his day....again!

Keep an eye on Vettel you officials, he's using the run off a lot.

He had all wheels over the white line there....or so it looked to me.

Well over the line. 

I love this circuit

P1  

Nicely mixed up grid.

yayyy well done Lewis 

let's hope that their new starter system is better than their old one

i have had the privilege of attending this race (in the days of Irv the Swerve) and was in a stand at the bottom of Eau Rouge, at the end of race we went round to the starting grid, and then walked up around the outside of Eau Rouge, it is sooo much steeper than it looks on TV.

Loved it and look forward to this race every year 

Yes, looking at the schematics and how the elevation changes vary you can get a good impression of how steep it is, but must be nice to see it in person.

I love the sweep as they approach and then rise up the hill.

I am slightly nervous at the start, Lewis to me seems to be less confident/good with the starts.

Add into the mix that a crash/pileup is not uncommon here!

The Belgian national anthem is nicely upbeat and short.

What happened to Rosberg ???

Did Lewis go over track limits?

What was Perez thinking trying to take the lead? 

Some good fighting going on

Bottas: Two different tyres !!!!!

What happens there then?

There is my answer - a drive through.

Just noticed this table, before todays points are added!

  @ Vettel & Ferrari trying to go the remainder of the race on that tyre.

  Solid day at the office for Lewis.

Vettel not a happy chap, but to be fair his team decided to run the tyre a lot longer than is probably expected.

I'm not sure he has the strongest argument there.

Maybe when the red mist and result have faded and he has had a couple of days he may think a little differently.

Well done to Lewis.

yayyy well done Lewis 

had to record it and only just watched so had to avoid coming on here sooner

always good to see a ferrari fail so late on  

Lewis Hamilton - What have you done to your Hair?!!!

(You look silly, BTW.)

Renault to stop supplying engines

Not a surprise

So what will McClaren do now?

Considering they use Honda engines.....

Beat me to it by two days

VolksVagan to take over Red Bull ?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/

Oh wow.

Which other cars use Renault Engines. Do we know? 

Torro Rosso and Caterham.

Torro Rosso

Ah right. I was just trying to gauge how the others performed with the same engines 

Interesting race tomorrow 

Suck it up Hammy - never a Senna

thank goodness ...never liked him, sorry he died though
