Jenson's awesome Q3 lap from 2012 that put him on pole. His McLaren was the fastest in all sessions and he won the race leading from pole. Watch the video and you will hear the rev limiter kick in about 4 times on the Kemmel straight. Hope McLaren gets back to those ways

I love that video of Jenson especially the fact that he hits redline so many times on the Kemmel straight. It basically means he got a great exit out of the preceding series of corners before he got to Eau Rouge.
I’ll wait until Friday practice before I make a selection.

So F1 has moved the start times of the European races back an hour to help out with TV viewers. That means I have to choose between church and watching the race live. At the German GP I went to the 9am church service and watched the race on DVR when I returned. Needless to say the heavens opening up was most welcome.
Now you know who I’m rooting for and where I’ll be at 9am eastern.
