    Vettel is due a win and isn't a year since he won a race though he was robbed of a win Canada thanks to Hamiltons buddy's from the FIA gave him the win.

    Looking at ferraris limited strengths, Spa and Monza should be good for them. However 3rd and 5th will be their likely finishing positions as they screw themselves over.

    Hopefully he will have learnt not to crash if he wants to win a race again.

    I think Belguim will be close between the three top teams. The circuit has parts that plays to each of their strengths.

    I'm going for LeClercs first win.

    Looks like Kimi has leg muscle issue. He is going to see how he gets on in fp1. If too bad to race Ericsson ready!

    They are missing a PR opportunity by not putting Schumacher in the car... In Belgium

    They should put Hamilton in the Alfa, give everyone else a weekend to catch up.

    Weather looks dry but with temperatures all over the place.

    Looks like 25DegC Fir, 31DegC Sat, and down to 21DegC Sunday. Might make an interesting race as those who can deal with high temps may qualify well and those who like cooler temps might do well in Race.
    Fingers crossed it will be a good one.

    I'd like to see a bit of rain around lap 10 for 10-15 laps.

    Ferrari looking good, which means they'll probably both get a mechanical problem around 1:30pm tomorrow and fail to do a lap in Q1.

    Got a feeling it could be boring other than not a Lewis a win.

    Maybe Lewis will be starting from pit lane if chassis change required! I wonder what excuse Merc will have for the crash, rear brakes, diff or control electronics?
