Anyway RC posted it in the SV thread.

I thought we were not allowed to name call drivers, no matter how subversive we're being.

Boo-f**king-hoo, it's just a picture of a celebrity which I got of google.

Go cry somewhere else, since its all you seem to do at this forum nowadays.

Raikkonen calls in sick on Thursday at Spa

Kimi Raikkonen has called in sick for Thursday's media sessions at the Belgian Grand Prix but Lotus says he will be at Spa-Francorchamps for Friday's practice day.

Raikkonen is currently at the centre of speculation about his future after his manager said talks with Red Bull had broken down over the summer break. Thursdays at grands prix weekends give the media the opportunity to talk to all the drivers, but Lotus confirmed in the morning that he would not be taking part in his usual media call in the afternoon.

"Thursday's media call cancelled due to illness; he will be here tomorrow (Friday)," read a short note on the media information board at Spa.

Raikkonen called in sick during one of his test days during pre-season this year and missed the media day at last season's Brazilian Grand Prix.

Nice to see Alonso P1 in changeable conditions, think P2 will give a clearer picture as to who is the quickest around Spa.

As for the weather, who knows - It was supposed to be hot and sunny today and it rained this morning

[CookinFlat6]

Alonso is a real candidate for bouncing back strongly this weekend

Mclaren looking none too shabby in changeable conditions in FP1. Bright, sunny and warm in FP2 now.

It was pretty fast, the walls looked gone on the tyre. The dont know why it went yet.

Going by the coverage on bbc website, Hamilton doesnt seem to happy with the car....

[Hammer278]

FP 2 was quite lively, but cars were oversteering away especially at Turn 8 and 9, everyone looked like they've hardly driven F1 cars before. So this is what FP looks like live!

[What's Burning?]

McLaren figures they can blind the drivers behind them with brake dust in order to maintain their position. Every time they applied the brakes it was a black cloud. Both cars.

Was like something out of a James Bond film, maybe they are preparing for a Tooned episode
