This image gives a better idea of how steep it is than the usual shots you get looking up from the bottom:

Sky did a bit during there track walk a few years ago where they tried to ride bikes up it which also showed just how steep it was & I seem to recall ITV rolling a tyre down it at some point.

I have done it by foot many times and it's steep. Every year in the winter there is a bicycle race with the finish on top and, yeah, it's steep.

Only +32°C? Hungary was +37°C, no shadow, very little wind gusts and the Sun has more power in July and because Budapest is more south. Spa-Franchorchamps is going to be much more tolerable in late August, heck, it might even be enjoyable.

They already increased the security checks during the Spa 24 this year, no surprise there

I know it might be annoying and that it will probably cause very long lines, but considering the horrible terrorist attacks that happened in the past months, it's a good measure from the organizers!

Pirelli giving the drivers two extra sets of unmarked prototype tyres tomorrow. The idea being they're more resistant to debris and kerbs.

Just attack the lines then.

But I think people are too used to deaths by now. Terrorist should go after something most people really care about. Start knocking down cellphone towers and pokemon go servers.

Mercedes confirmed Hamilton's engine penalty for this weekend, saying he will probably be place at the back of the grid or near it! The halo will be tested by Mercedes and Toro Rosso in the FP1, with Rosberg and Sainz, respectivelly!

Congratulations Nico Rosberg Belgian GP winner 2016!

God, I'd love it if something happened to Nico too...both Mercedes lining up at the back of the grid and competing with each other to fight their way forwards would make for a HELL of a race.
To hell with rain, make this happen please Belgian Gods of Racing! :thumbsup:

Because you're begging to them they'll now make it rain all weekend at Texas and Rosberg will run and hide while Hamilton DRS's his way to second in a 0/10 race :(

only Max Verstappen could change this

poor Mercedes start followed by usual Max blocking followed by another Rosberg mistake equals to total start mayhem
