It cleared up completely. Typical Spa weather :D
Haha never mind. Thought Charlie wouldn't let us have fun.

Lotterer outqualified Ericsson. Pretty good going, to step in and do that...

Bianchi is just awesome...

[and the Merc is ~3s faster than the other cars in the wet] nah... can't really say that, we'll see in constant wet conditions, now they change too much :?

They can afford more down force im guessing. The weather is just increasing their advantage, the weathers stopping Williams and the track is stopping Redbull. Mercedes are miles out front, its perfect for them.

Some rather hairy butthole-clinching moments in Eau Rouge this weekend :D

Great job by Rosberg!

Hamilton i´m not sure what he´s doing, messed up La Source several times.

Yep, he screwed up his banker once more and his second run was far from perfect ...

Massive job from Vettel. Missed 90 minutes of practice and still out qualified his teammate.

I wonder how mich that Ferrari slowed him down on his last run (or was Rosberg quicker anyway?). I only saw that at the end of S2, Hamilton accoarding to the broadcast live timer was still ahead, but i guess that was relative to Rosbergs former best time?
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

Nico will want a good exit out of turn one tomorrow, everyone talks about rain mixing the grid and hurting mercedes but they're even faster in the wet than the dry lol.

he was just slightly faster than Rosbergs former best, but lost the time to rosbergs actual best in la source already

Taking this into account P2 is not too shabby, and having this issue in Q3 and sorting it out for the race surely is better than getting it during the race
