aaahhh....but it's not "blood" red..... ;) (or should I say "bloody"....?)
Many weather channels are predicting rain for Sunday. Spa being Spa, and the weather there being unpredictable, not all agree... Rgds https://www.rtbf.be/services/meteo/belgique-ville_spa?id=1091
Seems variable overall. Maybe rain, maybe no lol https://weather.com/en-GB/weather/weekend/l/BEXX0031:1:BE
Spa predictions of rain I always take with a pinch of salt. It can happen, and often does...but especially at Spa it can rain 10 meters from the track but never actually hit it. Or we'll have half a wet track (as we've so often seen, and I bloody loving seeing that!), or it'll be really wet....or bone dry! I'm not getting my hopes up whether it'll rain or not.
The only drivers to win more than twice at Spa: Schumi 6 Senna 5 Kimi ,Clark 4 D.Hill 3 Fangio3 Maybe Kimi can make it 5?
Mercedes AMG feeling the heat? AUGUST 24, 2017 Mercedes may re-think team orders issue says Lauda Niki Lauda has admitted Mercedes may take a different approach in future when it comes to 'team orders' between Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas. While Sebastian Vettel is the clear de-facto 'number 1' at Ferrari, his main championship rival Hamilton lost points in Hungary by voluntarily giving up a place to his teammate Bottas. Team boss Toto Wolff initially defended the team play but subsequently told La Gazzetta dello Sport that Mercedes may "have to adjust" given that Ferrari is putting all its eggs in the Vettel basket. "Of course we are discussing how we deal with such situations in the future," team chairman Lauda now tells Osterreich newspaper. And not just that, in Hungary before the summer break Ferrari clearly dominated with a one-two. Lauda says Mercedes must now hit back. "We were not allowed to do anything for two weeks but now our engineers are in demand," he said. "We want to catch up with Ferrari's advantage on the slower tracks." But Spa-Francorchamps may not be a problem for Mercedes, whose 2017 car is always competitive on the faster circuits. "The track will suit us better than Hungary did," Lauda agreed. However, the 2017 championship may in fact come down to which driver is stronger, and Red Bull's Dr Helmut Marko thinks Vettel is better mentally than Hamilton. "That's nonsense," Lauda insisted. "Lewis is mentally equal to Vettel, if not better. And with Bottas we clearly have the better driver combination."

And the psycho bull**** starts: https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/hamiilton-vettel-teammate-mercedes-ferrari-944234/ Again the fable how he wants to race the greatest while others don´t...although apart from Alonso in his first season none of his team mate might have been one of them...and looking at his psycho games and the moaning last year I would say that he already had his hands full with Nico so I doubt he really wants to have Vettel as his team mate either
And again, like in the hat thrown story with Nico the small but important word "BACK" is missing...he gave the place BACK that indicates he was given it before by Bottas!!!
