BELGIAN GRAND PRIX - TEAM FERRARI HARED IT TO POLE, WHILE TEAM MERCEDES TORTOISED IT TO P.3.

A Big Congratulation also, to Team Ferrari and Vettel, and to Team Mercedes and Hamilton, for having made it to P.2 and P.3, even thought their performance came nowhere near to matching Leclearc's and Ferrari's blistering pace.

However, as always, while the achievements of Q.3 of all Formula 1 Grand Prixs offer the racers attaining them some advantages, especially at the beginning of the race. 

It is what transpires during the race that counts, and determines which racers will be able to convert and surpass their Q.3 positions, and which will be demoted. 

It is the case that Leclerc has not had the good fortune, in the past, of making the most of the advantages he has achieved. A fact which could add to his anxiety during today's race.

Hamilton will be concerned to make up for and reward his team for making good the damage his mistake has done to his car and performance during Practising and Qualifying. 

Bottas will want to do something impressive to underscore his success in earning another Season with Team Mercedes. While Vettel will want to achieve a race outcome which could rekindle the great achievements he has had in previous years.

And then, there are others, such as Max Verstappen, who will be aspiring to placing his car on the Podium.

So, which Teams and racers will be on the Podium for today's 2019 Belgian Grand Prix? 

Nobody knows; beyond the point that, it will most likely be those on whom the fate of good fortune, luck, have favoured. By adding Factor X to their solid racing strategies and tactics, masterfully implemented.

For the revealing of that, we must await the race!
