Finally the break is over!! Could not have taken one more weekend without a race.
Spa is one of my favorite tracks because in almost every race they host we see something unforgettable.
Everybody remembers what happend in the beginning of 2012 when Romain Grosjean caused a terrible crash and got banned from the next race. There was also a terrible crash in the beginning of the 1998 race which was one of the worst in F1 history. Check the video below. Jordan also took their first 1-2 in their race with Damon Hill and Ralf Schumacher.
In 2000 Mika Häkkinen made one of the coolest moves on Michael Schumacher when he overtook him with Ricardo Zonta in the middle of them in full speed. See Hakkinen and Schumi from this video:
Spa is also the track where Giancarlo Fisichella took pole position for Force India in 2009 and Kimi Räikkönen won the race even though Ferrari had a lot of problems that season. See Fisichella's comments of the good qualifying session:
Here Kimi overtakes Fisichella:
Great memories! Speaking of Kimi Räikkönen did you know that every time he has finished the race in Belgium he has been 1st, 3rd or 4th? That's an interesting statistic because in 2009 Ferrari had a bad season and they won here. Will they do the same this weekend? IT WOULD BE NICE IF THEY DID! I'm tired of seeing Mercedes dominating every race.
Now it's time for my predictions!
Pole position: Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes
The race:
The race:
- Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes
