Belgium 2009: The Grid

With qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix complete, we can see the grid in all its glory, albeit slightly strange and breaking from the usual run. On pole we have Giancarlo Fisichella, followed by fellow Italian Jarno Trulli. It is Force India’s maiden pole and the first for Fisichella in three years. Lining up third is Nick Heidfeld for BMW, ahead of Rubens Barrichello in the Brawn. Barrichello will need a good start tomorrow if he isn’t to get held up by three runners ahead of him, although if Giancarlo is on a light fuel load, and Trulli in P2 on merit, we could see a train a cars follow the Toyota pilot, allowing Fisichella to run away with the race. Furthermore, the weather likes to play at Spa Francorchamps, and precipitation could play a major part in tomorrow’s proceedings.
