Ferrari to start 1-2 at Spa

SPA, BELGIUM – Kimi Raikkonen led a Ferrari 1-2 in qualifying for Sunday's Belgium GP at Spa. Felipe Massa will start 2nd in the sister Ferrari ahead of Fernando Alonso and his McLaren teammate Lewis Hamilton.

The top three are separated by just 1/10th of a second but Hamilton is a full 1/2 second behind the leading trio as once again Alonso is showing the world who is the faster driver on that team now that the favoritism of Hamilton, who is British, was getting from the British team has stopped.

Massa beat Raikkonen's fast time on his final run.

Raikkonen then responded with a 1:45.994 lap, pipping Massa by just 0.017 seconds.

Alonso, who lost his first Q3 flying lap when he spun at Rivage, put in a lap just 0.097 seconds slower than Raikkonen.

BMW's Robert Kubica was fifth fastest but will lose ten places because his team changed his engine before the session.

That means Williams' Nico Rosberg moved to fifth, ahead of Kubica's teammate Nick Heidfeld.

Mark Webber took eighth, followed by Toyota's Jarno Trulli and Renault's Heikki Kovalainen.

Giancarlo Fisichella ending up 11th, ahead of Ralf Schumacher and David Coulthard.

The Honda team is still out to lunch with Jenson Button taking 14th while Rubens Barrichello struggled to 18th.
