Jaguar's Mark Webber topped the timesheet at the latest mid-season test session at the Silverstone Circuit, Toyota's Cristiano Da Matta put in the 2nd quickest time of the session whilst his teammate, Villenueve, rounded out the top three. Further down the field McLaren finished their first mid season test session with the 8th and 10th fastest times from their drivers Alonso and Button respectively. Also surprisingly neither Ferrari or Arrows attended the session after having being present at all the other previous test events and also Renault chose not to test even though they had recieved money from the loan of Marc Gene. Unfortunately due to mixed weather conditions the teams didn't receive much valuable feedback.

Schumacher Tops Spa Free Practice
The F1 circus has finally arrived at the very popular and challenging Spa-Francorchamps circuit in the Ardennes Forest for this season Belgian Grand Prix. It was Michael Schumacher who stepped up to the plate in Friday Free Practice after setting a time of 1:46.441 to beat Toyota's Jacques Villenueve to the top of the timesheets, whilst McNish and Montoya were very close together in 3rd and 4th. The sheer length of the circuit has created a very spread out field with the slowest time set by Pedro De La Rosa being 2.5 seconds of Schumacher's pace, however noticeable performances came from Satoshi Motoyama, who lapped almost half a second quicker than his team mate and reigning world champion Kimi Raikkonen and from Jarno Trulli, who beat both McLarens to 14th place.
Setup Reward
1. BAR +0.066
2. McLaren +0.084
3. Toyota +0.128
4. Sauber +0.241
5. Minardi +0.243
6. Jaguar +0.248
(Also apologies for the slight delay but I had some problems with fuel consumption so I had to iron that out before running the session.)

Webber on Pole In Spa
Mark Webber will be starting from pole position in this years Belgian Grand Prix after pipping Michael Schumacher in a rain affected qualifying session, Villenueve and Barrichello rounded out the top four. The difficult conditions allowed some of the slower teams to sneak up the grid with Jarno Trulli managing to take 5th in the Arrows and Takuma Sato starts 11th in his BAR machine. Timo Glock however will start last after having a very scary moment when he aquaplaned of the track whilst trying to tackle Eau Rouge, luckily though he managed to keep his Sauber out of the barriers and finish his lap, albeit ten seconds off the pace.
Glock going off track

Right I have a slight problem. As you know with this particular track the AI seemed to run out of fuel very quickly, however after adjusting the AI fuel consumption levels and running an accelerated race to see how many would retire, I found that only 5 drivers retired which to me seemed acceptable. However quite stupidly I didn't check to see when the AI pitted. So when I came to run the race and got 7 laps from the end I discovered that pretty much half the grid pitted. Now I am telling you this as I don't have the time to mess about finding the correct fuel consumption figure and then rerun the whole race so, I am asking you whether we should:
a) take the results after all 44 laps have been completed.
Or...
b) take the results from lap before the first pitstop took place.
Of course I won't reveal who did or did not benefit from the fiasco to keep bias out of your decisions, also bear in mind that the faster you can get back to me, the sooner I can post the broadcast. Oh and of course I apologise for this inconvenience.
