You wait a month for a race, then two of them come along at once. Yes, this weekend we're off to Spa with the news that - well, there isn't any. Okay, there is, but you have to read between the lines. So here's the schumi take on what's happening:
Basically, Ferrari's announcement of Alonso (spit) is meant to be imminent, they're just waiting to see which one of their current drivers they'll have to pay off to release from their contract. Oddly, Raikkonen doesn't seem too phased, but, let's face it, he's hardly Mr Emotional. If he does lose his seat I expect him to retire from F1.
And the other story is that Brawn can't find anyone better than their current drivers who would like to drive for them next year. Well, okay, so the headline states: "Brawn would be happy to retain Jense and Rubens", but we already know they wanted Vettel.
Both the race and qualifying sessions start at 1pm on Saturday and Sunday respectively.

I'd keep Button, but ditch Rubens - if only so he didn't perform that god-awful dance on the podium wearing my team's race suit. Sign Kubica - that's what I say.

Haven't been so excited over qualifying for ages - well done to Fisichella and Force India. ;D ;D Quite ironic - the smallest team in F1 (Force India) have the pole man, whilst 20th on the grid are megabucks Ferrari with their comedy driver. ;D

Oh well, interest in that GP didn't last long, did it?

Raikkonen should've been kicked out for causing the carnage. I guess that's the only way the Italian kings of comedy can do anything these days.

Schumi, but did Raikkonen escape a drive through penalty? He went off the track on the first corner in sixth place and came back onto the track in third.

And how about Raikkonen leaving the track to gain three places? How come the stewards turned a total blind eye to that?

Schumi, so two rights make a wrong? Raikonnen deliberately left the track to gain an advantage. Surely that should be worthy of a drive through penalty. Great race today, but Fisichella was denied a win by FIA once more becoming Ferrari International Assistance.
