Mark Webber took pole position at Spa ahead of Lewis Hamilton and Robert Kubica. Sebastian Vettel was fourth with Jenson Button fifth, Felipe Massa sixth, Rubens Barrichello seventh, ahead of Adrian Sutil, Nico Hulkenberg and Fernando Alonso.
The weather at Spa did not play a major role in qualifying when all was said and done, but it may be important on Sunday, with the weather forecast for Sunday being rain.

Hi Joe. I’m curious about your comment on the Spa weather.
I quote Webber in the official post quali press conference,
“We knew the first lap was going to be pretty important because round here it is so unpredictable,” Webber said. “The weather has been unique, even for Spa. It has been so on and off.
The rain at Turn 1 on the final runs was a cricial factor.
Lewis commented,
“Then I got the opportunity on the second lap which was good lap apart from Turn 1. That was wet and a little bit damp, I lost time there. But the rest of the track was dry and I was able to utilise the tyres and pull out the time.”
Surely the weather DID play a major role in quali.
Webber also said that the rain did not really make a difference
Touche!
