looking forward to this one a lot, although I think we won't have a single session in the wet.

doesn't mean it have to be a bad race though. Just thinking about 1991, 2004.

I thought at the start of the season they said DRS would be banned at Eau Rouge

Anyway, DRS is here, because its such a hard place to overtake :roll:

I guess they're a bit hamstrung by it being the only properly straight bit on the track, they couldn't have it on the last blast towards the end of the lap because you couldn't have the DRS open going through those corners.

Oh well, it's likely not to matter due to the huge downpour that we're definitely going to have on Sunday, oh yes.

There has been few full dry weekends at Spa and races on those years have been among the worst at Spa as long as I can remember. 2002 and 2007 especially.

My thoughts exactly. Where's the excitment with that!? It should be on the run to the bus stop, or the S/F line. There's no need to gift passes in a place where you can pass ffs.
