    Well, this morning (wednesday) at 8:30, the german weather forecast for Spa is:
    Rain showers on saturday afternoon; 60% chances of rain showers on sunday afternoon and rather cold...
    Not a Lotus weather I'm afraid!

    Well, on one hand I would not take Spa weather forecasts too seriously; the main characteristic of the weather at Spa is that it is unpredictable, which precisely means that it can't be predicted...
    And the weather forecasts for sundays are difficults on Wednesdays, four days earlier.
    But on the other hand it is nevertheless true that the forecasts for the week-end are not very encouraging on the northern part of France and Belgium...
    What would be Spa without rain?

    Not to pick nits but with 2-3 more laps the teams would have been on a different strategy.

    I have faith in Ferrari that they will keep Alonso "within reach" till almost the end of the season, but as far as actual potential to win a championship I agree nothing is going to happen.

    All mixed-up and dizzy by all these different stories:
    "In 2014 I'll drive for Red Bull for sure";
    "No, I'd rather drive for Ferrari";
    "Forget it, I'd better stay at Lotus...";

    hectic summer vacation for the "Arctic Mute"...with the perspective of a rather cold sunday (about 18°c, says the belgian weatherforecast) which should not suit the Lotus very well...

    Kimi un-well= dont want to answer only questions about which team he will drive for next year vs racing questions. He knows that's all they would ask.
