For the fifth year running, Atlas F1 is going to keep an eye on the battle between teammates throughout the season with a simple measurement: we compare the qualifying times of each driver against his teammate's result. After every Grand Prix, we will show how teammates have fared up against each other, and where they are overall since the beginning of the season. At the end of the season, the World Champion of Qualifying Differentials will be elected - the driver who beat his teammate by the most seconds. Only those who participate in at least 15 of the 17 rounds are eligible for the coveted crown; and for those who made the efforts and participated in all 17 races, the best and worst result will be scrapped.

With fourteen qualifying sessions completed for 2002, the differentials are once again on a roll! Let's see which drivers deserve bragging rights.

Belgium Notables

• Sauber: This was most certainly Sauber's worst weekend in a long time. How long? Well, Nick Heidfeld's 18th position on the grid was the team's worst result since the 2000 Malaysian Grand Prix - some two years ago.

• Setting the Record Straight: This was the best qualifying result for Kimi Raikkonen (second).

• The excuses: Both Giancarlo Fisichella and Olivier Panis had to use the spare car for most of the qualifying session - Fisichella because he spun off, and Panis because he had (another) Honda engine failure.

• Changes since Hungary: None.
