2008 FORMULA 1 Belgian Grand Prix

[shailf1]

I actually have no idea who will win, Kimi isn't on form and this years McLaren is stronger on more Ferrari track since Spain. So I haven't voted.

i dont think mclaren have done enough to challenge ferrari in belgium.
The race would exactly be like France with two ferrari 1,2 and rest of the field wayyy behind.

[kimi and mika]

1. Who will take pole? Kimi or Massa (a Ferrari)
2. Will we see any surprising podium finishes? No.
3. Who will be in the top of the constructors championship? Ferrari

1. Can Raikkonen take his 4th(!) win here? Yep he can get 4 (in a row!)
2. Can Hamilton stay in the lead of the Drivers Championship? He could, it's possible. He probbaly will.
3. Will Massa be as good as the last 2 races? Yes and no, he won't win though.
4. Is Heidfeld able to close the gap with teammate Kubica? No
5. Can STR stay in there recent form? No
6. Will Toyota be able to fight for the position of 'best of the rest'? Yes

Most of these will probably be wrong as these are predicted before any practice sessions, I might post again when the practices start.

[TwistedArmco]

1. Massa for pole.
2. No surprise except if it rains.. Then we may see a surprise.
3. Ferrari still.

1. No, his Quali form will only put him 2nd to 4th.
2. Yes, because he will finish third or second, unless a Ferrari engine fails.
3. Yes. He is on a roll.
4. No
5. Yeah. High speed circuit. They will beat their RBR counterparts certainly.
6. Yes, and they'll get it courtesy of Trulli.

1. Who will take pole?may be Kimi but it should be Massa
2. You can never predict about the surprises like did anyone predict about canada?
3. It will be Ferrari off course

1. Yes he can
2. I think Hamliton will be leading unless a surprise and he may finish below 3 or 4
3. Will Massa be as good as the last 2 races? Yes he will be but he may drive little bit consuming keeping engine conditions
4. Is Heidfeld able to close the gap with teammate Kubica? No
5. Can STR stay in there recent form? Definetely no
6. Will Toyota be able to fight for the position of 'best of the rest'? Hard to say

Hoping the same.But i want kubica to be on podium 2 or 3 and(1 for kimmi and massa only)so that hamliton can be dropped from the leadership of the championship...

its good to be optimistic but cautiously is better

Ferrari's pace significantly depends upon track temperature & Tire Compound.I'll prefer to wait

Ferrari testing six lever steering wheel in current test similar to mclaren

You've forgot the fact that both McLaren's got penalty's in France where Kovalainen did great to get to 4th and Hamilton had a 10 place for rear ending Raikkonen and a drive through for cutting the corner.
Ferrari might be faster but it won't be a runaway victory like last year.
It better rain or this race will be worse than Spain. (which one I hear you ask )

[raikkonen4ever]

1. Can Raikkonen take his 4th(!) win here?
He was very strong in this track for the last couple of years, and he likes this track very much. Despite he was struggled for the last few races, he should able to win this race

2. Can Hamilton stay in the lead of the Drivers Championship?
Yes

3. Will Massa be as good as the last 2 races?
We knew that he is an excellent qualifier, but I don't think he can win here. Maybe he will finished in 2nd or 3rd

4. Is Heidfeld able to close the gap with teammate Kubica?
Heidfeld's performance is no where near of Kubica this season. I can't see any improvement from Heidfeld, so I think he would still outpaced by Kubica

5. Can STR stay in there recent form?
This team is improving a lot every race, and so does Vettel. I think Vettel will show another great performance. Bourdais still needs a time to get used to the car

6. Will Toyota be able to fight for the position of 'best of the rest'?
Tough question
Toyota's performance is just like a roller coaster. Sometimes they're good, but sometimes they're bad. This will be a hard race for them, with Renault and RedBull joins the battle. So I can't answer this question until we see the qualifying

[Lemans3]

I see a lot of people ask if Kimi can take his fourth 4 on spa....
Don't forget that he won 2 of the 3 times in a mclaren. I remember 1 time when Kimi perfectly anticipated for re-starts after safetycar situations. I still feel he is a brilliant driver, but I would not forget mc laren. To be honest, I think it will be a victory for Lewis in spa.

but still they were slower than the ferrari and dont forget about kimi's exhaust.

The words of Murray Walker;"Anything can happen in Formula 1 and it usually does". They'll ring true this weekend witht the closeness of the top 2 teams and the weather.

[iceman1]

I think Ferrari's race speed will be affected by their engine issues.

[Zack]

Massa but i hv hopes 4 kimi. i think mclaren will be very strong(by mclaren i mean mclaren & lewis ... heikki is yet another ruben in making ).

2. Will we see any surprising podium finishes?

Ferrari

1. Can Raikkonen take his 4th(!) win here?
yes he can if Kimi/Ferrari can get sorted with tyre & engine issues.Starting from first row of the grid will be mandatory for victory.

Sensible driving :yes
