Hamilton takes pole!

Lewis Hamilton has achieved his 4th consecutive pole at the Belgian circuit of Spa followed by Vettel and Webber.

The classification has started on wet, all top drivers have completed Q1 on intermediate tyres, but Van der Garde and the two Marussia have mounted dry tyres. At first these tyres have not worked with these conditions but eventually both Van der Garde and the two Marussia cars made it to the Q2.
In Q2 obviously the two Marussia and Caterham have been eliminated along with Hulkenberg, Sutil and Perez.
The Q3 has been impressive, in the least that we can remember is the classification most exciting we’ve ever seen. During the Q3 has started raining and all have been quick to seize on the track” dry” and have come out with dry tyres, all but Di Resta.  Then, all teams have realized they needed to put the intermediate because the track was very wet.
At that point was when Di Resta has come out with the intermediate he found a fairly dry track and has placed himself first. In what looked like a pole ue all for Force India followed by Massa had also completed the first lap.
However, the track began to dry and times were falling, especially for the top three drivers, Hamilton, Vettel and Webber, who were able to give an extra lap and this has given them opportunities to lower the minimum two seconds of their respective times .
Fernando Alonso with the bad luck that often accompanies him and an error in the second lap, was renegade to ninth and tenth finished his teammate Massa.
In fourth place Nico Rosberg finished after Di Resta, Button, Grosjean and Raikkonen.
Tomorrow’s race looks great as it can be in changing conditions, we know that both Kimi and Fernando have much rhythm so they will have to gain positions as soon as they can in order not to let Vettel go away in the driver’s championship.
