Due to wet and dry conditions at the beautiful Spa-Francorchamps circuit it was a thrilling qualification session today.
The first big surprise was the 3rd place for Guido van der Garde in Q1. The Q2 session was dry, so the 'normal' fast drivers and cars showed their speed.
In Q3 it started to rain just seconds before all cars started the session on slick tyres. Except for Force India's Paul di Resta who started on intermediate tyres and set the fastest time on a circuit that got wetter each second.
Until the last minute it looked like Paul di Resta would score his frist F1 pole position of his career. But in the dying seconds of Q3, 4 drivers where quicker with Lewis Hamilton for Mercedes as the fastest one.
