Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen was fastest in the first free practice session ahead of this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix.

McLaren's Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso, free to race after avoiding punishment by the FIA in the 'spygate' case, were second and third fastest.

Raikkonen's team-mate Felipe Massa had an early set back when he went off on his first warm-up lap at Spa.

The Brazilian approached the Rivage hairpin too fast and slid off, through the gravel trap and into the barrier.

It means Massa will be behind his rivals in terms of the time he has preparing his car, which could harm his chances of setting it up to behave to his liking.

Belgian Grand Prix first free practice times:
1. Kimi Raikkonen (Fin) Ferrari 1:47.339

2. Lewis Hamilton (GB) McLaren-Mercedes 1:47.881

3. Fernando Alonso (Spa) McLaren-Mercedes 1:47.994

4. Nick Heidfeld (Ger) BMW Sauber 1:48.052

5. Nico Rosberg (Ger) Williams-BMW 1:48.372

6. Robert Kubica (Pol) BMW Sauber 1:48.605

7. Alexander Wurz (Aut) Williams-BMW 1:48.920

8. Jarno Trulli (Ita) Toyota 1:48.994

9. Heikki Kovalainen (Fin) Renault 1:49.138

10. Jenson Button (GB) Honda 1:49.330

11. Giancarlo Fisichella (Ita) Renault 1:49.380

12. Ralf Schumacher (Ger) Toyota 1:49.548

It all depends on if they can beat the Koreans today. The Swedes lost to USA 2-0.

McLaren have been stripped of their points in the 2007 Formula One constructors' championship after the outcome of the "spygate" row.
The team were also fined a record $100m (£49.2m), which includes any prize and television money they would have earned from the constructors' championship.

But drivers Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso can keep their points.

The team must also prove there is no Ferrari "intellectual property" in their cars next year before racing.

The decision means Ferrari, who go into this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix second in the constructors' championship, 57 points ahead of third-placed BMW Sauber, are almost certain to be crowned champions.

Having been at the hearing I do not accept that we deserve to be penalised or our reputation damaged in this way

McLaren boss Ron Dennis

The row centres on McLaren being in possession of a confidential 780-page technical document belonging to Ferrari.

When he left the hearing, FIA president Max Mosley was asked if justice had been done, and replied "Yes".

A Ferrari statement said: "In light of new evidence, facts and behaviour of an extremely serious nature and grossly prejudicial to the interest of the sport have been further demonstrated.

"Ferrari is satisfied that the truth has now emerged."

The World Motor Sport Council said it would publish the reasoning behind its verdict on Friday.

And McLaren team chief Ron Dennis said he would wait until then before deciding whether to appeal.

"We believe we have grounds for appeal but of course we are going to wait for the findings of the FIA which are going to be published," Dennis explained.

"The most important thing is that we go motor racing this weekend, the rest of the season and next season."

Although he was clearly relieved that the team could continue racing, Dennis was understandably upset at what he saw as the besmirching of the team name.

"Having been at the hearing I do not accept that we deserve to be penalised or our reputation damaged in this way," he said.

"Today's evidence given to the FIA by our drivers, engineers and staff clearly demonstrated we did not use any leaked information to gain a competitive advantage.

"The WMSC received statements from Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton and Pedro de la Rosa stating categorically no Ferrari information had been used by McLaren, and that no confidential data had been passed to the team.

"The entire engineering team in excess of 140 people provided statements to the FIA affirming they had never received or used the Ferrari information.

"We have never denied that the information from Ferrari was in the personal possession of one of our employees at his home.


Lewis Hamilton and team-mate Fernando Alonso keep their points

"The issue is: was this information used by McLaren? This is not the case and has not been proven."

At the first hearing into the row, on 26 July, McLaren got off without punishment, but another hearing was convened after new evidence emerged, and that led to the points deduction and huge financial penalty.

Three-time world champion Sir Jackie Stewart believes there is more information to be made public.

"All I can say, without being in full command of all of the information, is that the offence must be considerably larger than has been projected either by the governing body of the sport or within the media," he told BBC Radio 5live.

"This isn't murder that has been carried out, this is something that has happened before and there wasn't even a fine or disciplinary action taken by the same governing body.

"There is something very strange going on, there is no doubt about that.

"From what information we have been given so far, this does not constitute a penalty of this scale with regards to the crime that has been carried out.

"And even if they were found guilty of that particular crime, it doesn't justify this kind of penalty."

well everyone has his or her own opinion. But for me saying Prison Break has a true plot is utter rubbish.

Using the tattoo on your body as a guide to break through one of the most well forted prisons in america , c'mon gimme a break. Just saying no tv show has a true plot in the real sense.

End of PB should've been halfway through the 2nd season or at most the end of season 2. Trust me TPTB will extend it as long as possible to make more money. Heard Dominc Purcell signed on for 7 seasons, thats if it should go that far.

I use the tv ratings to judge shows and going by last seasons tv ratings 24 was way ahead of PB.

Its just what he was saying on the Arsenal website. He was looking at the options available for that position and he mentioned song.

Its the best movie I've watched this year.

There is no part two of transformers c-note.

I hope wenger is not considering putting song in the centre half position.

why shouldn't I post it

france lost to the scots, how shocking is that

1408 was ok, doesn't fall into the category of films I'll spend money to watch though.

our match against the north koreans will determine to a great extent our qualification to the next round.

If we can win that then get a draw against the americans who knows we might go through.

I don't know which team we play next but its certainly going to be tough as USA drew with North korea.

what people fail to see is the contributions Adebayor makes when he is on the pitch apart from scoring.

It doesn't matter what we think when we have bunch of good for nothing officials in that glass house.
