Stat Attack: Belgium (post-race)
Michele Merlino investigates the records and compiles the stats following the Belgian Grand Prix
Fisichella's firsts for Force India
Giancarlo Fisichella took Force India's maiden pole position, making it the 39th team in Formula 1's history to take a pole. Force India was the only team on the current F1 grid not to have taken a pole before Spa.
It was Fisichella's fourth pole and his first since the 2006 Malaysian GP - it was the first time he'd qualified in the top 10 since the 2007 Japanese GP.
