Oh noes.

"This track, in particular, will suit our car because we have a strong aero package for the quick corners so I’m looking forward to it."

Guess who? >.<

Also, it's looking like we could have wet practice and qualifying sessions but a dry race. Interesting.

I can't believe ferrari are sticking with Badoer for this race,seems crazy to me.Not that i'm complaining gives us a better chance of overtaking them in the constructers

[vaptin]

I am just hoping badoer will surprise us all

[Denthúl]

I expect that he will make it out of Q1. He knows this circuit, he has the equivalent of two grand prix distances of experience in the new car and his real pace, as we've seen in the winter countless times before, is better than two seconds slower than Räikkönen (I think it's more like half a second).

I gonna miss this race..

I missed last week`s due to being offshore, only seen it on Sky+ yesterday (hardly exciting though TBH), can`t wait for this one though as Spa is one of the top circuits out there, I spent five hours just walking the perimiter of it last year

I am just hoping badoer will surprise us all

McLaren flexible on short wheelbase

By Jonathan Noble and Simon Strang Wednesday, August 26th 2009, 11:49 GMT

Both Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen will be given the option of racing with the shorter wheelbase McLaren in this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix.

Only Hamilton had the opportunity to compete with the updated MP4-24 in Valencia, although he suggested over the weekend that he actually preferred the older version.

However, following analysis of the benefits of the car by McLaren this week, the team is to give both drivers the chance to compete with the shorter version is Belgium.

McLaren managing director Jonathan Neale said during a Mclaren media phone-in on Wednesday that the team was being flexible on its plans.

"In terms of the package for this weekend, I would say it is evolution rather than revolution, explained Neale.

"Spa requires a different downforce level to the circuits we have been running on recently so we do have new wings for the car available for both drivers. But that is more a rebalancing of the car for the circuit rather than an outright performance gain in itself.

"I think most of the teams will be doing something very similar.

"We have the short wheelbase available to both drivers, or both engineering teams, and when I spoke to Pat Fry last night when we were going through the analysis, I would say that it is one of the options that we have for this weekend.

"Depending on how the circuit is on Friday morning we can go either way so we are not committed in one direction or another on either car, but it is available to both."

HaHa but i think Nico is right the car will suit the track.

I think McLaren will struggle compared to the last couple of races maybe slip down towards the rear of the top 10
