2009 Formula One Belgian Grand Prix

[Péter Bártfai]

This is truly amazing, Fisichella on pole in a Force India, congratulations to him and the whole team, a great achievement! Now let's go and win the race!

 

[Bert Van Waes]

This will be something different this weekend... Loving it!!!

 

[Damian Henderson]

What's weather saying ? If it rains would be even greater

 

[James Johnson]

12th,13th,14th will be fun. 1x World Champion and 2x World Champion and Probably Future World Champion all starting together.

 

[Mark Birney]

Fisichella... Wow. He said the strategy was aggressive, but pole is pole!
BIG kudos to the FI team, they have put a lot of faith, time and money into the team and it's finally paid off. Funny, this is where Jordan scored their first win, 1-2. Runs in the team?

Mallya couldn't believe it, he was in the pitwall looking around, then punched the air. Classic, this is why F1 is good to watch.

[Eckhart von Glan]

Rubens is the lightest one not Fisichella lol

that is indeed unexpected and makes the Pole even more noteworthy.

Giancarlo Fisichella (1st, Q3 - 1m 46.308s):
This morning we had a small accident when I hit a rabbit, but my engineer said it would be lucky and it was!

Pictures, someone? :rabbit:

Pole onboard lap of Fisichella ..[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0IKd1aYJ5A[/ame]

Look at his left hand while he`s approaching Eau Rouge.

 

[Michael Herrmann]

he adjusted the brake balance back to normal, at the end of the lap you can see he is moving it more to the front for the the chicane and the first corner
so i think he did that the lap befor too and moved it back right befor Eau Rouge

 

[Bert Van Waes]

Indeed Michael, that's what he did. Great driving there!

For the moment it's not raining. You can check it on eurosport live. The porsches are now running...

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

[Bram Hengeveld]
