More interesting and worrying are the plans to cut a part out of the track to make it shorter ...

Why?

It's one the greatest racetracks left. I don't understand why FIA has to mess with everything...

I don't know. Apparently they want to cut out the section leading up to Blanchimont, including Stavelot.

I believe the F1 circus would be best managed by... well, circus animals. What about a bunch of monkeys with red hats? I'm positive they could - and they would - do a better job than the current FIA managers.

They seem to do everything in their power to make F1 as boring as possible. Which is very, very sad.

I guess everything has to be safe and environmentally friendly these days. And today's drivers seem to be more divas rather than proper men. But well money runs everything...

On the other hand some months ago I saw both Brno WTCC races in the telly. That was proper racing.

That is nothing but an un founded rumour, says F1 : Spa official denies layout to change - Spa - F1-Live.com

[Homem de Gelo]

I woulldn't be surprised to see Ferrari dominate Spa, but Monza should be 50/50 with Mclaren all the way. No team displayed dominat form over the other at last weeks test.

Well Ferrari are typically better in the high speed stuff, but the chicanes and high kerbs at Monza play more to McLarens strength. It'll probably be another race where Vettel walks all over the Red Bulls as well.

do you think vettel is going to make webber look silly next season when he joins red bull?

[fpv_gtho]

I dont think so, i expect Webber to still be the faster Red Bull driver next year. The last couple of races where Vettel's put in some surprising performances, theyve hit some strengths whilst RBR's come down a bit.

I think Seb will be faster than Mark but I'm not sure how much faster.

[f6fhellcat13]

Vettel will probably have a little on Webber in the race, but Webber is still a quali specialist.

[Homem de Gelo]

The ****ed a brilliant race and put politics first.
I hate this.

[f6fhellcat13]

Excuse me for a second please. F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck F*ck!
Why doesn't the FIA take their grubby little fingers out of our motorsport entertainment?

I think he will look quite ordinary once he loses the Ferrari engine power. Such is F1!
