Bite points

[Nitrodaze]

I think the familiar engine stalls at the start of the race due to improper clutch release, will return and we would return to launch control again soon enough. These premature stalls have been very dangerous in the past with rear ramming accidents at the start of races causing catastrophic pile ups, as a stalled car causes cars coming from behind darting this way and that to avoid crashing into the stationary car.

Would Mercedes be worst off without its dodgy launch control system? I think not. I think they would be happy to see it go actually, just one less problem to worry about.
I am not sure how many drivers on the grid have manual clutch experience at F1 level. I would think, Alonso, Button, Raikonen, Massa, Rosberg, Vettel and Hamilton are the ones that joined F1 just before launch control was introduced [l think]. Hence, Spa is going to be a first for most for the grid and a learning experience for a majority of the drivers.
Premature starts would also result in a few drivers picking up penalties at the start of races.

Spa could well turn out to be another bizarre race, with odd teams on the podium or in the top 6.
