Wow I thought I was going out on a limb picking Kimi and he's the favorite so far. Great minds think alike.

Too early to tell... I'll be more inclined to put a name down after next Friday's practices.

It's been too long, can't wait for the racing to start back again!

Kimi has a fast car and he is hungry to beat Ferrari after how they treated him.

Ferrari is not the only car he wants to beat. I doubt he has any hard feelings. He got paid a lot of $$ to leave. I doubt Kimi cared as much as some might think.

You're absolutely right, in all honesty, he really doesn't care about that.

Kimster!
I have more respect for his driving now than I did when he was at Ferarri.

Default GREAT NEWS!!!

Spa secured on calendar until 2015

23 August 2012





Organisers of the Belgian Grand Prix have confirmed a new three-year race contract with Bernie Ecclestone and Formula One Management (FOM). As reported by GPUpdate.net last month, the deal means that the popular Spa-Francorchamps circuit will remain on the calendar up to and including the 2015 season.





The deal was officially announced on Thursday by chief race promoter Etienne Davignon. Although the contract was orally agreed beforehand, pen has now been put to paper.

Jean-Claude Marcourt, economy minister for the Walloon part of Belgium, has reiterated that the government is now providing less funds but was not willing to state by how much. He also stressed that the Grand Prix will continue to promote the zone as a touristic destination.

Spa will host the latest F1 race, which brings an end to the month-long summer break next weekend. Over recent months, motorsport fans feared that the track may soon disappear off the calendar, or alternate with the French Grand Prix which was set to return before the country’s government changed after June's general election.

Really looking forward to this weekend. After doing a road trip there this year and driving the circuit for the first time I now have so much more appreciation for this fabulous race track.
