Once
again Ferrari were dominant and particularly Michael Schumacher. But at Spa
they were expected to face some competition. They didn't!
A
few of the highlights (in addition to Ferraris domination):
The Michelin runners were stronger than the Bridgestone runners but that
wasn't enough to catch the Ferraris.
Kimi Raikkonen superb qualifying ahead of Barrichello and the 2 Williams.
The high number of engine failures particularly the Honda engines!
Should Ferrari have ordered Michael to let Rubens win to help him in
his fight for second ?

What others are saying:
Well F1 is like a drug to me and even though my team is not
racing no more I still have to watch the races. The Belgian Grand Prix was
boring apart from watching Villeneuve and Kimi Raikkonen on Saturday
qualifying!! let's hope Arrows will race at Monza!! - Rob - Australia
I am delighted w/ Ferrari's win in Belgium. No, MS shouldn't
have had to "move over" for Rubens, Michael kicked everyone's butt,
and deserved the win. Rubens should have to fight for 2nd place in the
championship.
Kimi is one to watch in F1, but so is Massa, who will not get the chance,
yet.
Overlooked drivers, Fisichella, Button and Heidfeld. Who should go where?
Massa to Toyota, Button should 4get BAR and also go to Toyota, Heidfeld to McLaren
w/ Kimi, JV to Renualt, Fisi & HHF to Jordan where the cars will be better
w/ Ford, and what's the deal w/ Honda???? They blew another today testing.
These guys are better than what's going down.
Drivers who do a lot of talking to keep themselves noticed? EI. He's not
saying much, but he shore do like to talk. Later, Nova7 - USA
I agree with Jeff. Kimi Raikkonen has shown that he will
indeed be the next Formula 1 champion (the one after Schumi? Could be...) In
more ways than one, he has shown brilliance that few drivers can ever have in
their peak. Because, yes, I believe the there's a lot more, a WHOLE lot more
to come from this young Finn. Let us forget his dismal race in Belgium and
remember all those times he battled hard with Montoya. He didn't always come
out the winner, but then again, for a kid who barely had enough race
experience to get it on with Montoya, that has got to say something about
Kimi. Not that I enjoy dissing Montoya, but I still stand by my belief that it
will be Kimi Raikkonen who'll take the Schumacher's place when the German
retires, not Juan Montoya - Theresa R - Philippines
I agree with Jeff that Kimi is a driver to watch --as are
JPM and Bernoldi, the difference being that Enrique's drives are less noticed
because the car is a back marker.
As to Honda's engines --you have to wonder if Eddie Jordan isn't making the
right move. If they're going to "badge" the Cosworths with the blue
Ford oval in both Jag & Jordan teams it might be a sign that Ford is
finally getting serious about F1. (But I won't really believe that until I see
Lauda going back into the airline business!)
As an American, I'd love to see Ford really taking on Honda, Toyota, Renault,
BMW and Mercedes; the question is can any of them, right now, take on the
prancing horses? - Jim W - USA
Kimi is the one to watch. The performances he has had during
this season are breathtaking. And he has only driven 30 some odd F1 races. If
McLaren can give him a competitive car next year Ferrari had better watch
their back.
I think that as long as Rubens is in front of the Williams, then team orders
are not needed. The way the Ferraris have been running this year, orders are
also not needed to help Rubens finish second behind MS.
Michael certainly demonstrated that not only does he have the best car, but he
is the best there is right now. At one point leading Rubens by over 11 seconds
and leading Montoya by over 40 some seconds.
What is up with Honda? Not only have they become mid-pack runners, now they
have had 5 or 6 engine failures in one weekend - Jeff S - USA
