1.  The 2018 Belgium F-1 GP Qualifying session finished in the rain with Hamilton - the rain master, securing pole with almost a full second ahead of Vettel.  The time difference is SIGNIFICANT.

Third went to Ocon, then Perez both of Force India and with Mercedez engines.

2.  There will be live telecast at 0905.   Don't let this 0905 mislead you, the warm-up lap starts earlier, possibly at 0900.  If you don't want to miss any action, turn on the TV no later than 0900.

Actually there will be pre-race interviews 1/2 hour before the race which does not interest me at all.

The Belgium F-1 used to be on the longest track, winding through hills and what not, making rescue effort much more difficult if the need calls for one.  I think this is a new track which is shorter and requires just 1' 40+" to complete a lap.

The 2018 Belgium F-1 GP has just ended with Vettel winning, Hamilton, Max, and Bottas.

The race was on a dry track and Hamilton lost all his rain advantage and lost the lead in the second corner.  Obviously, Ferrari was a much faster car than MB ever since 2018 season started.

There was no racing to speak off among the top 3.  All the racing was done after the top three places.

The next race is in Monza, Italy, the Ferrari's home soil.

The 2018 Belgium F-1 GP has just ended with Vettel winning, Hamilton, Max, and Bottas.

The race was ...

It did show that Ferrari got a lot more power.
Mercedez lost it at the straight away.
- Hamilton was not pleased with power different
- Toto was saying there are many factors and they were horrible this weekend, tires traction and other tuning.

Exciting season so far, very tight race for the first place.
We'll see what happen in Monza.

I don't buy Toto's explanation of tire traction as there is only ONE tire supplier and all teams get the same grade of tires.

If Ferrari continues to have this power advantage, and if Vettel continues to take 1st and Hamilton 2nd, then Hamilton's lead will be all but erased in 3 races!

The 2018 Italian F-1 GP will be held this coming Sunday in Monza, Italy.

The Qualifying is still in progress.  There will live telecast of the event at 0900 tomorrow Toronto time.  Check your local listings.

Kimi recorded the fastest ever record at Monza and secured the pole.  Vettel was 2nd, just 0.01" ahead of Hamilton, Bottas was 4th.

So Ferrarri x 2, then MB x 2, took up the first two rows.

The Italian Formula-1 GP has just finished - Hamilton, Kimi, Bottas.

MB won with better tire strategy, but Ferrari has faster cars.

Vettel took himself out on Turn 2 yt trying to bump Hamilton out with his right rear tire but it backfired and forced himself into a spin + damaging the front wing.  Stewards called it a race incident, but with my scrutineering eyes, and if we must place the blame, Vettel should take it.

Also Max has developed from a dare devil young driver to a dirty driver too.
