Qualifying: Heidfeld hits the front
Race: Red Bull energized while the rest fall by the wayside

Nick Heidfeld has taken pole position for the Belgium Grand Prix, his first of the season and 3rd in his career. It's been a tough season for Sauber and Heidfeld, but things usually come good for Heidfeld at the end of the season and he'll be looking for the same this season after a good 4th place in Hungary last time out.

Webber gives Red Bull some much needed joy with 2nd on the grid, as they sit bottom in the Constructors Championship and Webber hasn't scored a point since Monaco. Pantano takes 3rd as he looks to get into the title picture. Alonso takes 4th in the hope of also getting back into the title race. 5th is Villeneuve and 6th is Sato, who is having a poor season for Williams. 7th is the first main Championship challenger to put the pressure on Pizzonia, Montoya. In 8th is the second Red Bull car of Karthikeyan.

Full Qualifying Results:

1st Heidfeld (Shadow) 1m46.597s
2nd Webber (Shelljed) 1m46.679s - (+0.082s)
3rd Pantano (Chris) 1m46.750s - (+0.153s)
4th Alonso (Jules) 1m46.760s - (+0.163s)
5th Villeneuve (Mike Swade) 1m46.776s - (+0.179s)
6th Sato (Poopots) 1m46.782s - (+0.185s)
7th Montoya (Afrojoe) 1m46.806s - (+0.209s)
8th Karthikeyan (Ortega) 1m46.817s - (+0.220s)
9th Panis (Foreman) 1m46.817s - (+0.220s)
10th Pizzonia (Icarus) 1m46.846s - (+0.249s)
11th Baumgartner (Grandprix) 1m46.847s - (+0.250s)
12th Salo (Biggie Little) 1m46.853s - (+0.256s)
13th Verstappen (Jae) 1m46.858s - (+0.261s)
14th Button (Der Nazi) 1m46.881s - (+0.284s)
15th Firman (Notorious Biggles) 1m46.883s - (+0.286s)
16th Raikkonen (Ineedsleep) 1m46.938s - (+0.341s)
17th Klien (Figo) 1m46.957s - (+0.360s)
18th M Schumacher (Vampyr) 1m47.067s - (+0.470s)
19th Fisichella (Badgerman) 1m47.084s - (+0.487s)
20th De La Rosa (Virtuoso) 1m47.137s - (+0.540s)
21st R Schumacher (Clazon) 1m47.140s - (+0.543s)
22nd Barrichello (Lipe) 1m47.193s - (+0.596s)

Usually, Belgium is subjected to bizarre weather conditions but there was none of that this time around, as the weather was perfect. The race was go and Webber got the lead from Heidfeld off the start and Heidfeld was 3rd by the end of the 1st lap after being taken by Alonso as well. This hurt Heidfeld's strategy as he was on lower fuel than his competitors but he got past Alonso on lap 2 but had 5 seconds to make up after just 2 laps.

Klien and Baumgartner battling on lap 3 when Klien hit Baumgartner and speared him into the wall at Eau Rouge. Baumgartner was probably travelling 170mph as he hit the wall and the force threw him back to the track in front of Firman. Firman was left in the middle of the road where De La Rosa was the unfortunate one to hit him. Klien escaped with only lost time, Firman lost a front and rear wing, which is a huge job and he had a long way to get back to the pits. Baumgartner and De La Rosa fared worse and their races were over.

Halfway round the track now on lap 3 saw the title race opened up again when Pizzonia spun into a wall to retire. Is the pressure getting to him now? Firman trying to recover after his earlier incident and pushed too far and spun on lap 5.

3 cars out of the race became 4 when Verstappen retired with an oil leak on lap 9. That quickly became 5 retirements when Klien's engine blew up on lap 10. Villeneuve crashed out of the race on lap 13 and Montoya's push for the title is halted again when he flew off the track into a wall on lap 16.

That left only 15 cars of the 22 that started the race but Salo suffered transmission problems on lap 16. The final retirement saw Panis pull off to the side of the track with a puncture on lap 23. Raikkonen had a spin on lap 30. Only 13 car remained and with Firman a lap down, 12 were in with a realistic chance of points.

Webber drove a controlled race and took a comfortable victory, his 4th career victory. Webber has a terrible points scoring record with only 18 points not from victories but 4 wins is only 2 off the record. Red Bull have been energized after a perfect race because they got Karthikeyan up from 8th to take 2nd and complete a 1-2 finish.

Heidfeld gets on the podium in 3rd after an almighty fight with Alonso, who had to settle for 4th. Sato has something to smile about with 5th place and Pantano edges a little closer to the title picture with 6th. 7th is Ralf Schumacher and 8th is Button, who denies Fisichella of a point which would have got him that little bit closer to Pizzonia.

1st Webber (Shelljed) 1h20m28.541s - (Up 1)
2nd Karthikeyan (Ortega) +5.139s - (Up 6)

PREDICTION WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

6 predictors this week so 10 points for 1st, 6 for 2nd, 4 for 3rd, 3 for 4th, 2 for 5th, 1 for 6th and a bonus point for the closest to the tie breaker. Here are the results:

1st Shelljed 10pts (19pts)
2nd Shadow 6pts (10pts - +1.827s)
3rd Badgerman 4pts (9pts - +0.767s)
4th Chris 3pts + 1pt (6pts - +0.597s) - THE CLOSEST
5th Jae 2pts (4pts - +1.165s)
6th Ineedsleep 1pt (3pts - +0.631s)

The table now looks like this after Round 14:

1st Chris 81pts (4 wins)
2nd Shadow 75pts (3 wins)
3rd Ineedsleep 65pts (2 wins)
4= Shelljed 55pts (2 wins)
4= Badgerman 55pts (1 win)
6th Jae 50pts (2 wins)
7th Icarus 33pts
8th Biggie Little 14pts
9= Foreman 12pts
9= Jules 12pts
11= Notorious Biggles 5pts
11= Clazon 5pts

Round 14 is over and it was another missed opportunity for the chasing pack as Pizzonia holds onto his 6 point advantage in the Drivers Championship. No joy for Jordan as the gap remains at 16 points between them and Renault at the top of the Constructors Championship. Shelljed took the win in the Prediction Championship but Chris still leads, although his lead is back to just 6 points.

Round 15 is in Monza, Italy and that means only 5 rounds remain. 50 drivers and prediction points maximum up for grabs. Already mathmatically impossible to win in the Prediction Championship race are Clazon, Biggles, Jules, Foreman and Biggie Little. 90 points are available in the Constructors Championship.

Hey Matt, still doing the good work I see.

Havn't had much time to come on the site, and been playing poker most of the time.

Lost a lot of money? :D

I haven't been playing a lot of poker recently. Did play a few freeroll tournaments over the weekend though but missed the money places by about 50-100 places.

Been winning and losing, but am up at the moment.

www.sportingodds.com is the best poker site. Entered some of the freerolls on there and got on the final table quite a few times from over 300 people.

Also got TV games on there aswell.

Sounds a bit like William Hill and a few others I know. Do they have regular freerolls? It's the only kind of poker I play.
