Giancarlo Fisichella wasn't the lightest but Rubens Barrichello was during this qualifying session.

Fisichella, is however 8.5 kg lighter than fellow front-row sitter Jarno Trulli, meaning it is the latter Italian veteran who must be declared the favourite for Belgian GP victory.

"It is looking pretty good for the race," agreed Jarno Trulli. "I'm very confident for tomorrow because being second in qualifying with a good fuel load, I think I'm going to have a good race."

Reminder: During Q1 and Q2, the cars can run "empty". The drivers qualified for the Q3 session are not able to modify the quantity of gaz and must start the race as is. That's part of the strategy to adapt the quantity for both the Q3 session and the beginning of the grand prix.

* All the drivers out of the top 10 are allowed to modify and adjust the quantity of gaz before the beginning of the race.
