The wait will win, there's no way you'll survive.

I'm sticking with Vettel and Redbull. Hopefully Newey has had enough time to come up with a solution for the new rules.

It's hard to keep up but I thought that we were back to the old rules?

Anyway I'm going with LH (again). Ballsy driver for ballsy track.
If (when) it rains I think JB could do well too. So Macs 1 and 2.
And a Red Bull to show.

Spa is a drivers track.

Hammy FTW

If Alonso can get it set-up, I wouldn't rule him out.

Yes they are back to the old "blown diffusers are allowed" rules that were in place at Valencia.
The only race where the new rules were used was Silverstone.

Hamilton should have the best chance. He has the cajones for SPA, and the McLaren is the fastest car in a straight line; a helpful attribute for the long straights at SPA.

As weird as it is to say this, Vettel is overdue for a win. Considering the summer break and refresh, my money is on him. Don't discount Ferrari.

This summer has been terrible in NW Europe (check this out: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/musi...e-kills-5.html), with one of the wettest summers on record, so my money is on the Smoothie King Jenson Button (or should we call him Captain Smooth?)

Pent up aggression and lots to prove for the remainder of the season I predict Hamilton and Webber take each other at the start, Vettel wins, Button places.

I'm betting Fernando will get the set up he needs to win and will be on the top step of the podium

Rumor has it that Alonso is hungry for another win.



But this time he will need to do it without the "Ferrari International Assistance" help.
