All the talk in Belgium was of Alonso and Ricciardo with a sprinkling of fear over the future of the race track.
Danny Ric's luck continued to plummet in the first session of Qualifying, just behind his team mate, he had a lap time disqualified and found himself falling down the grid as drivers popped in their last lap. He did make it through though. Albon put in a great lap to go 6th and Vettel was knocked out.
The big scalps in the second session were Ricciardo and Gasly. The big news was Albon through, this seeming to be a great track for Williams.
In the final session, team mates were helping each other with a tow and every driver was tripping up another driver. LeClerc gave Sainz a tow but he ruined it dropping his tyre into the gravel trap. Albon finished 9th ahead of Norris.
With many grid penalties to be taken, it was very mixed up but impossible to understand qualifying. Really, what was the point? I had no idea who was starting where despite having watched the whole thing. Perhaps, if you are taking a penalty, you should be disqualified from Qualifying and have sets of tyres removed? Still rain predicted for the race...
