Former CART champ Zanardi to compete at Paralympic Games (The Globe and Mail)
“In a perfect world, Chip Ganassi would call me and ask if I wanted to do the Indy 500. That would be cool. Let me do this first and then we will see.”
Bruno Senna: “Qualifying will be important and I’m looking to get into Q3 like I did in the last race and from there hopefully score some good points for the team.”
Lotus’ performance highlights closely fought Formula One season (AutoWeek)
Eric Boullier: “Yes, it was a risk to [gamble on Raikkonen]. It was a risk to bring Grosjean [who struggled with the Renault team during his first F1 go-round in 2009], but I think we were so convinced with what we wanted to do, we just went for it. I don’t know if it was brave or it was stupid!”

The harsh realities (Joe Saward)
“Vitaly Petrov is a pay driver. A good one, but a pay driver nonetheless and if his friends in Russia do not deliver the cash for him to continue in F1 in 2013 then Caterham will take another driver who can provide what is needed.”
Spa-Francorchamps equals respect (ESPN)
“Our worst fears were completely unfounded. The new Spa demonstrated just what can be done while making the necessary safety improvements but without diluting the track’s essential character.”
Back in the Saddle (EACSports)
“Personally, I hope to see more of the same. The prominence of race strategy and tyre degradation is engaging, the midfield battle is furious and at the top the drivers know it’s anyone’s championship. If this wasn’t enough, the rumour mill is conjuring up a gripping backdrop as speculation builds on the future of Felipe Massa, the man who will take his seat and the expiration of Hamilton’s McLaren contract.”

The Swiss Grand Prix 1982 at Dijon is the last race with no Ferrari at the start on Sunday.

On this day in F1
Michael Schumacher scored his first career win in the Belgian Grand Prix 20 years ago today.
Schumacher made a decisive switch to slick tyres after going off the track, falling behind team mate Martin Brundle, and noting the state of the rear tyres on the other Benetton.
Earlier leader Nigel Mansell began chasing Schumacher after he changed to slicks, but a broken exhaust ended his bid for victory and sealed a memorable debut win for Schumacher.
This race weekend also saw the final appearance of the infamously dreadful Andrea Moda team:
