    Forecast suggests a wet race is likely on Sunday. <diva>

    You don’t actually want a wet race. You want a race in variable conditions. Which is very Spa.

    Yeah, looking at the radar it looks like showers. Could be a very dramatic race.

    Raining at one end , basking in sunshine the other . Another thing about Spa . Frittes with Mayonnaise @07:30. On a cold damp morning walking through the Ardennes Forest to get to your seat . Or dig a divet in the grass as I did first time there !

    Nasty crash at Eau Rouge in the W-Series. Thankfully everyone okay.

    Session should have been red flagged before. Vettel and Lando both said it was too wet. Thankfully he's ok like you say.

    He's looking seriously rapid in the wet this weekend too.

    Yeah, pole was looking likely, let alone possible.

    He's just so quick. I look forward to the moment (hopefully next season) when he gets in a Mercedes for more than one race weekend.
