there's not much going on just alot of -

McLaren 'we can still win this championship'.

Renault is coming to spa with a number of updates.

teams want in-season testing.

bernie's sill going on about bbc and sky tv deal.

and at this weeks spa schumi is celebrating 20 years in f1.

I hear they will be bringing a whole new car for Heidfeld lol!

I miss kubica, he could really mix things up sometimes. Anyone read/seen anything lately on his progress?

[tweety bird]

kubica has more scheduled surgery this month, so he probably won't be back this year.

i'm in good spirits about spa, with all the updates the teams are bringing it will be good.

In Hungary it was like he was still racing. So many Polish with flags and chants for a bloke getting blow jobs of Romanian hookers in a hospital bed...strange

Eau rouge between the drs detection and activation, should be interesting...

[Roy]

Harry will love this weekends GP then...DRS looks like playing a huge role with where they are positioning it. Eau Rouge is easily flat these days and was personally expecting it into the final corner. Lets see if Webber can come home strongly for the season, 6 or 7 victories would be nice

Oh, and I think Bernie is mad for thinking that 30% of the race fans in India are going to be travelling their from Europe. I think h is dreaming if he thinks India has that sort of appeal to Europeans compared to perhaps travelling somewhere to watch a GP. My $5 is on no drivers or team members eating local food or drinking anything but prepared bottled of red bull

what's this 'race of champions' about?

[hrd-hr30]

its held every year. they invite drivers from various disciplines - rally, F1, touring cars etc to compete on a mickey-mouse indoor track like a scaled down WRC Super special stage with various buggies and weird open wheelers like KTM X-bow.

No DRS through Eau Rouge during practice and qually.

yes the fia banned it due to 'safety concerns'

they are worried about drivers taking more risks.

You are not a true motorsport fan.......

[wolverine]

Knowing about the ROC and liking the ROC are two different things.

[Marlin]

I don't get excited about it at all..... but I'm blatantly aware of it

I'm only pulling his chain pal, BACK OFF!
