Sounds epic. Have a good time!

Right, back to the business of racing. Surely this track has got Red Bull written all over it with high speed corners? We can only hope they get mugged in the DRS zone.

Indeed, have a great holiday Acid!

Right, back to the business of racing. Surely this track has got Red Bull written all over it with high speed corners? We can only hope they get mugged in the DRS zone.

Yep looks a clear Red Bull track to me. Guessing the DRS will be on the straight? Only other place would be from exit of turn 3 up to turn 5.

Thanks guys. Will be oon a plane for the qauli and race.

But expecting RBR to walk this.

Last year Spa was the race before. 0.1 qualifying gap. Pretty much identical to Germany and RBR didn't win the race.
Went to hungry and they qualified 1,2 @ 0.9 in the lead and won the race. although Alonso got into second.

DRS has been confirmed to be on the main straight. Only 1 zone too.

Nice to see the FIA have given up on the 2 DRS zone idea, even though there is nowhere on this track to put a second one really.

I wonder if we will see 2 in Spa? One at Kemel and one on the run up to the Bus Stop, both with separate detection points might work?

really hope rbr arnt so far ahead that mclaren and ferraris race pace cant bring it back a bit more even for the race.

I think Ferrari have shown from Silverstone that they can live with RBR. Well, Alonso can at least.

Looks like HRT are already smashing the place up.

However, Hamilton is concerned about Hungary: a traction track likely to be very hot - a little like Valencia, except the corners are longer duration, putting the tyres under even more strain.

That sounds like perfect Ferrari territory. Except for one thing: current forecasts say it is going to be wet...

Bring on the rain!

FrankJH · 26 Jul 2011 at 18:05

Likely to be a really boring race if it doesnt rain

Crossing fingers for a decent amount of rain just before / just as the lights go green

Hopefully a bit of rain or thiswill be a typical hungary dull fest I suspect.
