McLaren will hopefully fall back and have to put up with the sight of a blue and white car infront of them.

This could be a very dangerous race for Brawn because if they're not on the pace, they could end up bogged down the order a fair bit.

Temperatures will be key here, I think, and we know that Spa can be hot or cold. I want today's victory to push Rubens on to some good results for the rest of the season, hopefully he can challenge Button, but I do think that Red Bull will be stronger here, especially if it's cold and/or wet.

I wouldn't be so sure about that, yet. McLaren have certainly found some form, but on circuits that require mostly mechanical grip. We're yet to see whether or not they work on an aero-dependent circuit that is as demanding as Spa-Francorchamps.

Without KERS, I don't think Red Bull will be able to hold the Mclaren KERS on the straight.

too bad RedBull not going to use KERS. If they do, it will make Sebi's 9th engine penalty a lesser penalty. given that the system doesn't mess up the balance of course..

but imagine a redbull with KERS...
i think if there are no DNFs for the Brawn or any pointless races from Brawn, i think its a good gamble to put KERS in Sebi's car and leave Mark's car alone...

The cooler temps should help McLaren over Brawn, and i wouldnt call Valencia a mechanical grip circuit alone, it also requires good aero. So i dont think i would put McLaren out of the equation at all for Spa!

Lewis for the win (2 in a row at Spa) 8-)

McLaren had better stock up on some tins of green paint from B&Q before they head to Spa. :wink:

Don't worry I'm sure we have plenty in stock considering the amount of development.
