The scariest thing was that they were fast and deserved to be there.

That's what blew me away - Spa without a drop of rain... I couldn't believe it.

+1 it wasn't due to a fluke accident or pit stop error. They were putting in great laps all weekend. Now they just need to show a strong presence in Monza to prove it's not the same old Force India.

Friday practice was only dry for the first 15 min, then the rest of the session it was raining really hard. The few who dared go out spun.

For sure, they deserved to be there, for sure, it's too bad they didn't have KERS, for sure, or else they could've finished 1st, for sure.

Too bad Adrian Sutil didn't finish a little higher, for sure. And too bad Jarno Trulli got stuck behind Badoer, for sure .....

Sorry couldn't help myself ...

For sure when you take English as a second language, they really drive home the importance of the phrase "for sure", or "nevertheless" ...

Only fridays first practice was wet, second practice was completely dry. The rest of the weekend was dry for that matter. That is a bit strange for Spa isn't it?

Wouldn't surprise me if FI is quick at Monza, I think they have a very efficient car aero wise, same goes for the Ferrari. I think they both lack downforce though. When we get to Sinapore VJ's team will be at the back again, watch...

Speed.

Does BBC America cover the races? I've never seen it on any other channel than Speed.

Looks like Ferrari is expecting Felipe to be back for 2010. The doctor must have been pleased yesterday with his progress. Its seems now that Kimi will be out of a ride for 2010 which he say's he still wants to be in F1. I would hate to see him leave Ferrari.

Personally I don't like the idea of Fernando wearing Red.
