Not into F1 but have read that LH is favourite as this is a very fast track.

You join in every Grand Prix thread and ask questions on just about all of them. I think you are into F1

Just an observation.

Thanks for all of the tips everyone. In the hotel enjoying a Chimay Blonde and planning where to try to watch the a action. Thinking of the Kemmel Straight or Bus Stop chicane.

When we went to Silverstone, we tried out different viewing locations during practice and qualifying in order to decide where to head for on race day.

Almost the whole of the circuit is easily accessible on foot. When visiting two years ago, I found wandering about trying a number of different spots during practice sessions was very enjoyable. I settled for the centre of Pouhon for qualifying and the race and had a magnificent view of two sweeping corners, and a couple of offs.

Spa is fabulous.

Correct, the Mercedes is well suited to this and most of the remaining tracks this season.

Met some Albion fans at the GP who spotted my dads Albion cap! Wearing our colours tomorrow. Great qualifying and hoping for a Lewis win with Verstappen taking out Vettel on the first corner.

Japan,Singapore,and Malaysia can often hinge on the weather.Come on Lewis,nail it today.

I can see one huge moment settling it either way.

Like Hamilton's engine blowing in Malaysia last year. Without that he'd have been world champion for sure.

All set to go, hopefully the OP has a prime location to watch the thrill and spills that we always get at Spa

In have a passing interest because my brother has met most of the drivers and doesnt speak very well of LH although I respect his driving ability. I would never even consider going to watch one in fact I would sooner stand on the M25/M23 bridge watching cars go by.

You are watching now though, aren't you?

Solid but unremarkable start from all the front runners.

 

[Frutos]

Looks like Verstappen has a technical failure.

No I keep up with it either on here or on BBC WEBSITE never watch it on TV..

 

[Icy Gull]

Fock me how close was Hamilton to Raikkonen there?

"No more radio for the rest of the race" - Alonso channelling Kimi there.

Hamilton clinging on to the lead here.

Ace bit of driving seeing as Vettel had better tyres for the restart. Bottas couldn't match the quality as he got jumped by two cars on ultra softs

Absolutely - showed the sheer straight line speed and power in the Merc as well.
