Torrential rain limited the number of laps for teams during the two practice sessions
yesterday.

The prediction for Sunday is 19C and cloudy but given it has been wet at Spa
for four out of the last ten Grand Prix events, some wouldn't be surprised if there
was more rain. Given the large area of the circuit, a local shower at just one
part of it may even occur.

Mark Webber is not off to a good start with a five place grid penalty for a
unscheduled gearbox change. F1 regulations require gearboxes to last five
successive races.

Michael Schumacher celebrates his 300th Grand Prix weekend but didn't get off
to a good start when he was fined €2500 for not using the pit-entry road correctly.
