    SPA GP Practice & quali thread

    I figured since I'm Belgian and no thread was up, I might as well create it ! Here we go for the Belgian Grand Prix.

    Going there on Sunday and hope to see Ferrari doing well there, for once !

    Very hot week here in Belgium, +30°c all along and all through the week-end.

    Possible heat storms at the end of the day on Saturday and Sunday.

    My guess is that rain is possible on sunday, and if it happens and stops, the track would dry up quickly so that would make an interesting Grand Prix !

    I guess we'll find out more about the weather on Saturday evening.

    So far so good. Mercedes on Supersofts, Ferrari on Softs. I am not sure if we did race simulations yet. Horner in an interview with Sky was suggesting that Red Bull was in same ball park as Mercedes on race speed and Ferrari a bit slower.

    Might be a trouble for Ferrari if weather is hot as it might be. Both drivers having only one set of mediums. Redbull and merc 4 sets (Ham 3). Most likely that medium tire will be the tire for the race. Some even thinking that super soft is too soft for quali in these conditions.
    So, everybody else but Ferrari and Haas can test medium tire before race. Worst case scenario we will have 4 stop race.

    After FP1 it was. FP2 is another story.

    Still, it should be a bit cooler at the race day and that is good news to us and our big pile of SS tires.

    In the 2000's and of course earlier on, only the bravest and best drivers would go pedal down in eau rouge. I read in an article that nowadays its easy for anybody to do so, its something that was taken away from the sport, its the little things. F1 should be about cars AND drivers, the FIA stopped evolution on the engine etc and change regulations every 3 years, surely they can do something to put more emphasys on driver quality too. I think with the current line-up we would benefit from this, at least as much of any other team

    Ferrari have stopped developing the 2016 car long back. So dont expect any miracle from SEB or KIMI. Lets settle for 3rd in WCC and focus on 2017. Getting a head start in 2017 is very important. Hope 2017 WDC Seb AND WCC Ferrari.

    Let's stay positive for this race: Ham in the back, and it seems Ves has gear problems...
