Beautiful isn't it ? Yes Belgium can produce good products, we're all proud of it, at least the motorsport loving community is.

The aerial picture is dated: I see gravel traps. :p
Wonderful circuit, wonderful forested landscape, but often dull in dry conditions. Luckily early forecast say...well, something I won't say.

SPA and Monza back to back.

YES!

Also F1Zone will have someone in the paddock. But due to budgetary reasons (and the fact I think the FIA are still pissed with me), it shall not be me.

With all due respect for Monza, but that race usually sucks :(

Pirelli makes sure usual boring races aren't boring any more....

Best track in the world SPA: even if the race is dull its still amazing to watch the cars here....

Fun fact : Each time Kimi Räikkönen managed to take checkered flag at the Belgian Grand Prix, he won it.

Going there from thursday on, 4 guys and 48 liters of beer. Goal is to have my jacket signed by Kimi, who is the last recent topdriver missing on it. :D

One thing I learnt during the 24 hours of Spa is that the commentators were calling the "corner with no name" "speakers corner" because in the past from the commentary position it was the only one you could see in the distance....

I don't know how recent this is or if it has any truth to it, but every year there are references to "the corner with no name" so it'd be weird to know it had a name all along....

Spa will see Michael Schumacher's 300th GP.
It's quite remarkable how many of his career milestones happened there:
- his first ever F1 race 1991
- his first win 1992
- his seventh world championship title 2004
- his 20 year anniversary race in 2011

+ overtook Alain Prost's record of GP victories 2001.

Judging how the season has progressed, I'm not expecting good results from Schumi this time either.
