Belgium GP - "Top job...beautiful work"

Oui

Skeletons in the closet - Raikkonen must know about Arrivabene's, how else does he have another contract with Ferrari signed so early?
Overtaking - treats from Grosjean, then Kvyat
Kvyat: "It was really good fun today" - at last a racer who enjoys his job

Non

How did Spa get so boring?
Penalties - ruining an interesting grid
Under starter's orders - Hulkenberg was starting, no he's not, yes he is, no, no definitely not...then Sainz
Poor starts - Bottas and Rosberg threw everything way early doors
Mixing up the tyres - from bad to worse for Bottas
Sunshine - another way to ruin Spa
Getting the marigolds on - the marshals get ready to move Ricciardo's car
Bailiffs at the door - things are looking bad for Lotus but then up again with Grosjean's podium ("don't ask me how or why")
"Hyper-exciting" - EJ sounds like your gran taking selfies
Lauda: "Hamilton is unbeatable at the moment" - disappointing news
Tyre chat - more after the race than before for a change - Vettel was swearing and blaming Pirelli for his missing out on a podium finish.  Pirelli insist the tyre blow-outs have been a "third party problem".  Well, isn't this going to be an interesting new forum in F1?

Finally, what is the new starting procedure?

Advance Apologies

Due to a visit from unenlightened non-F1 folk, the Belgian GP results probably won't be posted until Tuesday or Wednesday. No spoilers please.
