Hello again everyone I'm Bob Marshall with David -- Steve match -- ready for another Formula One roundtable. Qualifying now complete -- round thirteen of the season. The Belgian Grand Prix mark Webber. Makes Red Bull twelve for thirteen and polls this year but. I think more importantly David we talk about spot and the effect that weather can have all the time what a dance with a double it is to be out on dry tires when this clouds on the horizon. Sure enough in Q1 that's exactly what we got into chaos broke out.

Morgan and have a -- one of the things that led to it was that on the very opening lap when it was relatively drive that Saudi backed off Clinton's -- nine. He's brought a red flag and -- just really close a whole thing and -- you'd probably -- in Q2 but it was Q was pretty excited with people coming up an old Rex is especially down stop hello down the 1014 and it went. That was -- rain swept.

Across the bottom corner of the track. And cool. No mood loses people slot him in all directions you know Jarno Trulli got into the back of -- degrasse. My dad was informed NC today than outside together. And then Schumacher threads his wife -- then which is normally -- on Friday and on golden minus 2 o'clock this is amazing -- I'm hopeful that the trade for.

And it casinos suits -- going off she was able to circumnavigate the whole thing in the gravel we're -- our Friday practice broadcast. We saw I think was beat Antonio leniency able to reverse the car. Right out over the gravel Steve I don't think that's what the gravel as they're four. But I don't roller to the auditor the gravel trap is always just to dissipate the speech script the speed toughness and stop the comments. If I'm if you can keep the call go right he should be out drawn on the gravel trap if you stop and then on Gannett long cauldron in the gravel and I'm gonna limit. It's good to see that reverse the big news guys got an email yesterday from have you asking. A rule calls for two with a reverse it we never see that. Well yes they are hoping to with a reverse it because his -- from the regulations and the reason that is to trying got a call back into the show aside it was used a good if I guess is that absolutely. The McLaren look pretty good all weekend even though it was Red -- and Ferrari taking the top times. Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button. Were we're we're quite the factor and I think Hamilton being as close as he is just the tenth or so off of or whoever's polls are recall. Kelton may have something to say about who wins this race.

Yeah I mean how often. Is I think one of the top talent out -- that the mound and has no doubt about it that we saw in 2000 night when it rained run at the end of the of the ground bring them. When he came from where we was little forced so -- leave from Kimi Raikkonen had to give it back. They decide they haven't given it back enough whatever the heck that means a a and they went on a -- and then 'cause they gave the race to sleep a massive but that was. A bit of -- driving his shoot unskilled -- can't seem to be back this week that race three weeks ago and then -- was definitely below upon Goosen. Hamilton had to give problems well right but they certainly seem to be back here with a vengeance on whether they can he beat the Red Bulls at the Red Bulls have a problem. It's hard to tell him it is if you're gonna do anyway this can be the place.

Another team that showed a lot of potential only to have a go all for -- was Mercedes and Michael Schumacher -- Ross we're going -- quickly granted they knew they had grid penalties Michael for his dangerous move on -- product hello.

In Hungary was going back ten spots this guy -- roster. Had a gearbox change so he would lose five positions. They were looking good right up till the end of Q2 when they got caught up in traffic and just a few -- volatile. Traffic.

it just thought to was -- ride at the end of Q3 but only up of the source hairpin which is the first corner. And it didn't seem to affect him but it must precede a bunch of -- forgot many guys got -- and a state.

But he about it yet it just goes to show how fast things change because under a couple of minutes before that Michael Schumacher at the top of the time shape right exactly and and I'm looking pretty comfortable again next thing you know bumped his young. Bet on the knuckles Gonzales 21 Michael starts 21 unofficially and -- Ross -- with a five -- spot penalty will start. Seventeenth. And in the end it was probably most addressing the battle for -- to figure had to be between the guy who was fastest on Friday Fernando Alonso and of course the Red Bulls who were never out of the equation. But even though the drivers are equally good the cars are almost equally good. Fernando Alonso winds up tenth while mark Webber is on pole and once again it was just a matter of a few raindrops and some traffic at the wrong time.

I think I don't think -- eyes looks as good club policy. Today. And caught -- as it did yesterday one to run it was very mixed. Much uncertainly as you say how long time in the end and look tense and Felipe Massa out qualified them for the first time -- like six -- seven races. --

Just got it -- riots -- they seem halfway through the session on his next to last hot lap and then outcome the umbrellas and it starts this breaks down rain. And that's when Alonso. Was trying his hardest and could do no better than tenth most of the thing we have to fight through into this is.

Won't say things do they have only -- awful tomorrow is right every month because technically and -- here. It's he climbs out of the cut off. The Ferrari of up to to put away so the public convert and a significant bowl winning the Red -- and Red -- gambling -- have been a -- I -- as a performance different I was probably just exactly what -- is -- have to factor -- at the teams have got to be concerned over usage of the intermediate -- right remember each driver throughout the whole race weekend is only given full sets of -- and we saw them destroy -- at a time Friday practice -- If they think they're gonna need those times tomorrow they well with my civic on type choice as well which they're probably thinking Mo gave up a couple of positions. On the grid none -- go to Spezza and intermediate times to use in the race tomorrow I don't know but I think there's a lot of variables ball particularly. Highlights American lineup as well right disposal of the teams are probably figured it's gonna rain over rained hard because week. Most of the teams still have their three sets almost all wet and so now. It's gonna be interest thing will arraign him what effect will -- have be sure to join us for the Belgian grown three. The GP two action from Belgium comes your way at 6 AM Sunday morning eastern time. And then the Belgian Grand -- beginning with the -- free ratio when will Buxton live on the grid it's tough track for strong. At 7:30 AM eastern time so join us then and until then for David Hobbs and Steve match and I'm Bob Marcia. We'll see around the wet.
