F1 2013: Belgian GP. Back from vacation!

[Ferry_vO]

Qualifying on a wet Spa track, Always interesting!

Q1 results:

17: Maldonado
18: Vergne
19: Ricciardo
20: Bottas
21: Gutierrez
22: Pic

Great results for Van der Garde (Caterham) and Bianchi and Chilton (Marussia) who all made it into Q2 after taking a gamble with slick tires right at the end! :applause:

[Ferry_vO]

Almost dry in Q2, very close at the top. These guys didn't make it:

11: Hulkenberg
12: Sutil
13: Perez
14: Van der Garde
15: Bianchi
16: Chilton

[Ferry_vO]

For a long time it looked like Paul di Resta would be on his first pole position as he was the only one out on intermediates at the beginning of Q3 when the rain started, but with the track drying out after the flag dropped and a few cars still allowed to finish their lap, he dropped down to fifth. Great job from Hamilton, taking pole as the last car crossing the line.

1: Hamilton
2: Vettel
3: Webber
4: Rosberg
5: Di Resta
6: Button
7: Grosjean
8: Raikkonen
9: Alonso
10: Massa

Victory #5 for Vettel, great drive from Alonso, moving up to second, and the first retirement in 39 races for Kimi
