    Yes, Spa and Suzuka; but as the beer is better in Belgium, Kimi goes especially well here.
    Hope he will be at last able to, at least, shine a bit, and that there will be no messing-up in the tactics during the quali if it rains indeed.

    he's done special things here before.

    I think it was 2005 when in changing conditions he was over 2 seconds a lap faster than anyone else, including teammate montoya and Schumacher on the same tires. Brundle and James Allen where pretty damn impressed...

    I really hope he can do something here this weekend to restore some faith into him by some. He's done a good race in Hungary so fingers crossed.

    Exactly my point; and if it doesn't work that way, we will still be left with the Belgian beer...

    He might have a shot at beating Alonso for once, but the rest of the field? Nah. Their engine deficiencies will be on display with the long straights.

    Unfortunately I can't find Belgian beer here in this backwards country. A friend who has a bar once bought over a bunch of Duvel's which we got nicely hammered on though.

    Mercedes brought a fascinating new rear wing. I'll dig up a pic.

    any predictions of the Greenpeace folks repeating their protest like last year?

    Either way, we still have Belgian beer!

    It looks to me like the lower plane is unaltered. The DRS plane is quite brilliant as when it's open, the gap between the two planes will be greater so I believe they will effectively have a more effective DRS

    They fear Williams. Williams are the fastest car in terms of out-right speed.
