At the Circuit De Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium. Giancarlo Fisichella pulled off something that no one believed was possible. In the ultimate “triumph of the underdog” story, he raced Force India's car, the VJM02/04 onto the qualifying pole and into the history books. Giencarlo blazed the Spa track in precisely 1:46.114 seconds grabbing the top slot on the starting grid. For a team that is yet to secure a point in Formula One, this is an achievement of incredible magnitude.

I was so thrilled and excited at this, that I sent about a gazillion text messages, tweets and Face-book updates out. A feeling of jubilation, which I am sure all my fellow Force India fans can identify with. If all goes well, Fisichella could secure Force India her maiden victory tomorrow. The race starts in about 19 hours from now.

“Hope is the dream of a soul awake.”
