strange final day at Spa Francorchamps
Belgian GP- Team Analysis - Race
07/09/08 22:39


  • Toro Rosso Ferrari: Sebastien Bourdais, despite hitting Toyota's Jarno Trulli at the start, had a good weekend and capped it off with two points. But with his team-mate Sebastian Vettel fifth at the flag, the Frenchman was disappointed on Sunday afternoon when the late race rain chaos cost him places. "It was definitely his best race for Toro Rosso and I am very happy for him," said team boss Franz Tost, who was seen embracing the multiple Champ Car champion in the paddock.

  • Red Bull Renault: Mark Webber re-claimed his eighth place only in the stewards room, as the FIA officials penalised Toyota's Timo Glock for overtaking while yellow flags warned about the Raikkonen crash. The Australian was also lucky to survive the crash with an optimistic Kovalainen. David Coulthard finished 11th. "We have poor drivability," the veteran said.

  • Toyota: Jarno Trulli was sixth at La Source on lap one, but hit in the back by Bourdais and lucky to drag his damaged car to the chequered flag. "The car was undriveable," said the Italian. Glock finished eighth but FIA stewards took away his point for overtaking Webber under yellow flags.

  • Williams Toyota: The British team's rain-dance came too late, meaning that Nico Rosberg and Kazuki Nakajima's switch to wet tyres did not deliver any points. "We are confident Monza will suit us better," said Rosberg.

  • Force India Ferrari: Giancarlo Fisichella was the last to see the chequered flag, after a crash with Nakajima at the first corner required a visit to the pits. Adrian Sutil, who finished the race with dry tyres, split the wet-tyred Williams cars at the end, for 13th place. "I could pass Button and some other guys. I am quite happy with this race," said the German.

  • Honda: Rubens Barrichello's bad weekend ended on lap 21, when the team retired his car to save his engine for Monza following a gearbox problem. Button had no such luck and was forced to complete the whole race and finished 15th.
