From the very second the lights went out at Spa, we knew we were in for a treat. Pole sitter Mark Webber went nowhere, cars streamed past him, and then, the rain started to fall. We saw cars spinning off all over the place, and although there were only four retirements by the end, it could have been an awful lot more.

We reduced the length of the competition by several days, putting two matchups in some of the earlier heats, but it didn't make this Circuit Character Cup any less exciting. Spa-Francorchamps has emerged victorious of all the 2009 circuits (bar Abu Dhabi).

It was a jam packed weekend in Spa, and there was plenty to be picked up on for the rankings this week. We've also got a few things from the past that are being dragged up for points - things that we either missed first time round, or had forgotten about. Let's get right on with the scores for this fabulous week in F1.

F1 got back into the swing of things in fine style, with plenty of action at Spa-Francorchamps.

Red Bull have kept their lead on the championship for now, but it is much closer than ever before. McLaren have moved to within one point of their rivals, whilst third place Ferrari are falling back a little way now. It's definitely going to be a battle between RBR and McLaren.

Hamilton retakes his lead on the championship, pushing Webber back down to second. Sebastian remains in third place, having picked up no points this weekend, and it's a similar story for Button and Alonso. The championship is by no means over yet, but it's closing up dramatically.

Once again, it was two main bands of rain that caused all the chaos during the Grand Prix - one at the start, which saw an early end to Barrichello's 300th race, and one at the end with saw some troublesome tyre choices and Alonso's afternoon over. Eventually, we got to the end with just four retirements, and plenty of disappointed drivers.

Qualifying offered up the goods already this weekend, so we're expecting either great things from the race, or nothing very much at all. There is no in between. With Red Bull on pole, as per usual, and a handful of other drivers sprinkled out of position, anything could happen. The only question is, how many penalties will be dished out during the course of the race?
