The Belgian Grand Prix at Spa Francorchamps! the 16th race of the season at one of the tougest tracks in F1. :D :beer:
Pizzonia replaces Heidfled for the second consecutive race:http://www.tsn.ca/auto_racing/news_story.asp?id=135530
rain and inclement weather may be the big story this weekend at Spa. the second practice session was all but cancelled when the Liuzzi (Red Bull) crashed heavily in as a result of the heavy downpour. no other team decided to risk it, as discretion is the better part of valour. Kimi was fastest in practice (i hope he doesn't blow an engine) while Alonso posted no time, saving his engine: http://www.tsn.ca/auto_racing/formula_one/news_story.asp?ID=135718&hubName=auto_racing-formula_one
the drivers are concerned of the safety factor if they have to drive a wet race. it should be interesting if it does rain, as it will separate the men from the pussies. however, if the rain is as bad as it was in today's practice, they may actually have to cancel the race, again tarnishing the image of F1: http://www.tsn.ca/auto_racing/news_story.asp?id=135734
Michelin to supply fewer teams next season. then, the year after, they will be booted out of the sport: http://www.tsn.ca/auto_racing/news_story.asp?id=135521
Fisichella may have to change an engine and be penalized 10 spots, whilst JPM got away with an engine change since he didn't particpate in the practice session and was due to receive a new engine for the race: http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?PO_ID=34006 and: http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?PO_ID=34003
