Live Commentary
11:02 So, there we go...Heidfeld fastest in final Free Practice...make sure you come back for the really interesting stuff when qualifying begins in a couple of hours' time...
11:00 The clock ticks down to 0:00...Hamilton is in the middle of his lap...not good enough to take him back above Heidfeld to the top...
10:55 Hamilton locks his Bridgestones through turn 8...nothing too dramatic...Massa is on his flying lap...well down on Lewis through the first sector...
10:53 Massa is out...only seven minutes remain...
10:51 Here's Lewis...fastest through sector one...through the second sector in 1:19.315, 1.314 down on Piquet...Hamilton is on fire...not literally, thankfully... over the line a full 1.3 seconds in front of Piquet
10:45 Only 15 minutes remaining...Hamilton still sits in his car, surrounded by people making themselves busy...Hamilton has beautiful skin, doesn't he? Not a blemish or a spot on it...out on track Sutil skids his way through the chicane...hairy moment for the Force India man.
10:42 Here's Raikkonen, tearing down the huge straight....breaks hard for the chicane....and again for the hairpin...through the gears, round the sweeping left-hander....hard right...lots of G-Force there...curving round to the left, approaching the line...hard turn into the home straight...over the line...good lap.
10:37 No sign of Hamilton or Massa yet...perhaps they have over-slept...easily done...
10:35 Alonso comes over the finish line for another "flying lap"...4.933 seconds behind Vettel, currently fastest...I reckon someone must have put coffee in Alonso's fuel tank this afternoon, Herbie-Goes-Bananas-style.
10:30 Coulthard is the next man to have a crack at Glock...#plus;0.200 through the first section...#plus;0.509 through the second...-.0.464 over the line! Jeepers! That must have been an incredible third section from Coulthard...he's on the top of the time-sheets at present.
10:28 Here comes Alonso...he looks angry...good hair, though...he's down on Glock through the second section, but 0.511, too...#plus;1.079 over the line...not a great lap from the grumpy Spaniard.
10:23 Glock has been the fastest man out so far this afternoon...still no sign of the big men yet....
10:19 Frenchman Bourdais wipes the rain of his specs and decides to get out on the track...very brave of the Milky Bar Kid. Sutil fails to a corner in the middle section and goes straight across the grass. Nice short-cut.
10:15
Heidfeld records his first flying lap...2:00.227...seems fast to me, but then I drive a Mini Metro.
10:12 Only Nick Heidfeld is out on track at present; it seems to have stopped raining now, so I don't think it will be too long before we see some of his friends join him for a quick spin.
10:09 Plenty of spectators out braving the weather, and some hot pit girls flashing some flesh. All a bit tacky, really. Maybe I'm growing old.
10:04 Hi there! Welcome to our coverage of Free Practice for the Belgian GP! There are a few spots of rain in the air at the moment, which is just keeping the drivers in the garages...
