Eventhough it doesn't deliver amazing races every season and eventhough it's not as great a track as it used to be.

This is Spa Francorchamps

And specially for Marcel: REXX

Spa to me is like the Talladega of F1, always a hype around this race and a sense of danger. Such an amazing track

Yeah i always look forward to Spa. It could have been better if Eau rouge would be dangerous like 10 years ago... but with a bit of rain it could be :)
But its eary days about wheather....

I just hope the DRS zones will not be too big to screw the Wallonian GP

Can't wait. Spa seldom provides boring races and even support classes are very worth watching. One must hold breath whether or not GP2 & GP3 cars manage to get through Eau Rouge. Not fan of the tarmac runoffs, but as it probably will rain at some point of the weekend it will make them slippery and more dangerous. Take that FIA, haha.
Moreover, MTV3 Max HD is FTA this weekend. What a joy!

2007 was probably the worst Spa race of all time.

There was nothing wrong with the 2007 race, if you ignored the top 4.

People focus too much on the front and ignore any racing further down.

I remember that race being pretty fantastic for the lower order positions. Specifically Adrian Sutil was the standout.

2007 wasnt too bad. Was an ok race, in the midfield was action. But 2008....
Its better we dont talk about 2008 race cuz well soon get to page 50 before friday.
2011, 2012 were really great races even if it was on dry

I'm happy I'm not attending so that I can see, for the first time in three years, the race unfold in a completely informed and well up to date manner.

PS: rain chances on Sunday diminished.

Main Event of the Season the one they make us wait a whole month to check

if they provide a boring race it's because they dislike race fans

Would be great if we could see Kimi winning again at his favourite track!

Not if it means we as forum members have to witness all the Kimi fanboys ejaculating all over this thread.

The only moment that comes to my mind while thinking about the race in 2007 was Alonso and Hamilton going side by side through Eau Rouge...and Kimi doing some donuts after taking chequered flag.

This forum cares too much what other people think.

To hell with what Kimi fanboys will do, kimi winning would be great for the championship....

Well..anyone but Vettel winning would be good for the championship :p

I wonder how timid everyone will be into turn 1 this year....

Why would everyone need to be timid into turn 1 this year if the problems of 2012 were caused by only one person?
