    Kimi-land comming up!

    By far the greatest track on the calender.
    IF Lotus is going to win a race this season its got to be this one.
    Dry race and Kimi will surely be up there.
    Schumi had his first win here back in -92 and has won it 6 times but since 2004 Kimi is the king of this track with 4 wins.
    Hope we have similar result like the Hungarian race.

    I wan to keep the excitement until the last race.

    I think you could be right. Kimi could rule here.
    I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

    Did Hamilton reel Kimi in and overtake him in '08 after a spin?
    Did Hamilton win this in 2010?

    Would be good to see if Hamilton can take the challenge to Kimi? I think he can more than do that.

    Btw if Kimi gets outqualified and outperformed by Grosjean here, well I wont know what to say.

    Temperature is the main obstacle Kimi might face. Lotus seems to excel in hot conditions, but the Belgian GP has traditionally been held in cooler conditions. Otherwise there is much to look forward to.

    Yes, rain made it possible to catch Kimi. The Ferraris were like drunken donkeys in wet conditions that season.
    And Hamilton won it. Both of them pitted before last lap.

    Kimi is the King of Spa, but realistically, it will depend on the temperature.

    An unusually hot weekend in Belgium is what Kimi needs.

    Hmmm yeah that's a real good point. It would be good to see a proper head-to-head, but I agree the Lotus may not be the best car around here. If Kimi manages to win THIS one, I will take my (large) cap off to him.

    Personally I hope Kimi wins it. Would also spice up the championship, especially if Webber closes the gap on Alonso's championship lead.

    Lotus introduces the super duct for this race. If Raikkonen can qualify in the top 4 here, the race is his. Bank on it. Here's to hoping for another donut after the race...

    Do some of you think that the E20 is the only car that comes out of the summer break with improved aero? They just happen to be the only ones flapping their jaws about it. As much as I would love to see the fleur de lis dominate technically, I expect inovation from Williams, Sauber, McLaren, Mercedes, and maybe even Ferrari, Renault will be lucky to come out of the break with the relative performance position that they took into it. Snaaaaap
    May the forza be with you
