  • Belgium 2008: The Grid

    The McLarens line up on the Spa Francorchamps grid one directly in front of the other, as do the Ferraris of Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen. Lewis Hamilton claimed the pole position by some margin, while Heikki Kovalainen displaced Raikkonen with his last gasp attempt in Q3. Felipe Massa splits the McLarens while Kimi rests in fourth, once again. Both Scuderia Toro Rossos completed the top ten and Fernando Alonso will be looking for a decent points finish as he slides in behind Nick Heidfeld, settling for fifth and sixth respectively.
