00:00In Force India Colours is into the final part of qualifying.
00:03But, is this man, Kimi Räikkönen, going to be the man to catch, shall we see?
00:09Hasn't been on pole since the French Grand Prix last year.
00:13Hasn't won a race for even longer.
00:15Spain last year.
00:17There's the Kurs being deployed down the hill.
00:20See that Kurs graphic.
00:22And the battery turns yellow.
00:25Up to Le Combe now.
00:27Kemmel, 200 miles an hour.
00:29Yeah, when the drag's building up, there's no point in putting the Kurs in now.
00:33Because the drag is way more powerful than the extra power.
00:36So they're using a LeSau's hairpin to give themselves a catapult down the hill.
00:40And to go even faster through Eau Rouge.
00:42And then carry the extra speed all the way up.
00:45Räikkönen not leaving any space to spare there.
00:49Again, that tight line that both Ferrari drivers like around RIVAGE.
00:55Soft tyre and tracked over to 31.
00:57Climbing all the time.
00:59There it is indeed.
01:01Goalposts are moving.
01:04That looked alright on full tanks, didn't it?
01:06Not full tanks, but race tanks, I should say.
01:0931.1 for Räikkönen in the first sector.
01:12Shows you he is carrying the fuel up the hill.
01:14That's about half a second slow than he went before with the fuel load.
01:21Timo Dock's just winding himself up, by the way.
01:24Looking quite handy.
01:27All the cars bar Fisichella and Barrichello are out on the track.
01:34Well, some of these cars have been going faster with each lap, haven't they?
01:37I think we've seen some cars put their best lap in on lap three.
01:40And I think that's what's caught a few of the traditional front runners out.
01:47Now, what sort of benchmark is this going to be from Kimi Räikkönen?
01:50Quicker than everyone else on that first sector.
01:53Three goes.
01:53Good seven to two.
01:55Good seven to two.
