BELGIAN GP - RAIN GUARANTEED
Company press release.
Spa-Francorchamps, 23 August – There was quite a wait for the eleventh round of the Formula 1 World Championship to get underway this morning in the Ardennes. The typical Spa-Francorchamps weather did not disappoint and intermittent rain fell throughout much of the first Free Practice session. Fernando Alonso was fastest overall in 1.55.198, only completing 11 laps, while in the other F138, Felipe Massa was eleventh, doing 10 laps with a best time of 1.56.863. When conditions allowed, much of the session was dedicated to evaluating different aerodynamic configurations. The two Ferrari men ran Intermediates, then Hards and then Intermediates again, also trying some practice starts before the end of the session. Behind the Spaniard, it was Force India that completed the top three: Paul di Resta second in 1.55.224, ahead of Adrian Sutil who did a 1.55.373.
