Kimi Raikkonen loves Spa. He's won four times on the circuit before but it has not been good to him today. His qualifying is over.
Green light and Q2 resumes.

Tom Clarkson
BBC F1 pit-lane reporter"The teams were slighty caught out by the track getting faster, it is half a second faster than the teams were perhaps expecting before qualifying started. We are looking at I think a 1:49 dead [for getting into Q3], but it is a movable target."

The McLarens don't get through to Q2 but they already knew they would be starting at the back of the grid anyway because of penalties. Max Verstappen, despite reporting a power issue, gets himself through.

Where did this come from? Sergio Perez leaps to the top of the timesheet with an impressive 1:49.006 on the softs.
Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean alll improve but none of their times are good enough to beat Perez's effort.
