That's great news for F1 techs here.

This, it was crazy to be based in the US. Let's hope they make it.
Just thought I'd drop this in here, way ahead of time, for anyone who hasn't been to Spa and seen the elevation of Eau Rouge. We visited a couple of weeks ago whilst on a bike tour, and although I knew it was steep I wasn't prepared for just how epic this section of a track really is.
Can't wait to see the 2014 cars wrestle their way through here later this year!

There's even better place to watch them, through the fence as you walk down from the kemmel straight to eau rouge, you get really close to them as well.
Will miss the V8s roaring around there a lot

Tbh, there isn't such thing as a 'bad' place to watch from at Spa.
Had a quick look around this place on Wednesday:
Unfortunately I was there on business rather than pleasure so there wasn't time to look about properly, but I still got to see some cool stuff.
They need a bigger facility - even if it's just for the trophies

Can't argue with that.
For Qualifying in 2011 I was stood on the Kemmel Straight, got to see Sutil bin it after losing his car at the top of Eau Rouge and then stood at the bottom of Pouhon during the race. Both great places to watch from.
One great thing about the Kemmel Straight though, is the views, where you can see the paddock and la source etc. beautiful place.
Can't wait to go back someday.
Really wanted to go to Austria this year but the missus is heavily pregnant and it'd be a bit lonesome doing a road trip on my own. Definitely going to try and go next year though, again beautiful scenery and F1 cars, doesn't get much better !
Nice! Sparky gave me and Duke a tour of the manufacturing plant last year. The team have definitely out grown the building, there are manufacturing machines crammed in all over the place.
The trophy cabinet is pretty dam impressive though. 3 stories high!
