Veteran’s day at Spa-Francorchamps

Giancarlo Fisichella scored his 4th career pole position and the first ever for Force India during qualifying for tommorrow’s Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps. As back at the Australian GP in 2005 it’s an all-Itallian front row with Jarno Trulli lining up alongside on the grid. Overall the qualifying result seemed to be result of experience of youth.

In the top six we find the more experienced drivers with more than 150 Grand Prix starts beating their younger team-mates:

1. Giancarlo Fisichella, 225 GPs
2. Jarno Trulli, 213 GPs
3. Nick Heidfeld, 163 GPs
4. Rubens Barrichello, 282 GPs
5. Robert Kubica, 51 GPs
6. Kimi Räikkönen, 151 GPs
