Over the three practice sessions, the fastest drivers were Rubens Barrichello (1:50.179 in Practice 1), Sebastien Vettel (1:48.650 in Practice 2) and Lewis Hamilton (1:47.632 in final practice). RB had a gearbox change earlier and will therefore get a 5 grid spot penalty. However, if Brawn score 14 more points than Red Bull they will […]
There’s been lots of news since the last Grand Prix, most of it revolving around the accusations of “race fixing” by Renault at last year’s Singapore Grand Prix. (Read more in my post here.) I’m sure there were some comments in the earlier practice session this morning when Renault driver Romain Grosjean crashed into the […]
For the past week or so, I’ve been saying Piquet’s accusations that Renault told him to crash so his teammate would win were ridiculous, implausible and just the ramblings of a recently-fired driver. Well, apparently I was wrong – Flavio Briatore and Pat Symonds have left Renault just days before the FIA hear the case!

Sutil was fastest in two of the three practice sessions, which could bode well for Force India. (Hamilton was fastest in the first.) Fisichella seems to be struggling in the Ferrari whereas Liuzzi appears far more comfortable in the Force India car. Weather for qualifying is fine and dry: air 26°C, track 40°C, wind 0.7m/s, […]
I was too busy to watch practice yesterday (shocking, I know!) but here are the highlights: Practice 1: The McLaren pair topped the times with Hamilton fastest (1:23.936) followed by Kovalainen, Sutil, Alonso, Heidfeld and Buemi. Practice 2: Sutil posted the fastest time (1:23.924) followed by Grosjean, Alonso, Kovalainen, Kubica and Glock. Remember that Fisichella […]

I didn’t hear any mention of this during this morning’s Belgian Grand Prix, but it’s being reported by some of the Formula One news sites:
