I certainly hope so, though if it rains like people think it will...

If it rains Nico had better have done something about his visor problems, I mean even I managed to do my first Formula Vee qualifying session last year when it was wet without my visor steaming up, I just used a bit of washing up liquid on it.

Aye. That said, I don't think he'll encounter the same problems as in China anyway. He certainly won't end up that far down the field, he should be top-six at worst. But if it rains, the Red Bulls will storm to victory, I think.

Not sure. Some say yes, some say no.

Despite a heatwave in the Hautes Fagnes region last week, Spa looks set to be wet as showers are forecast for Thursday through Saturday, when the ambient temperature will begin at 24 degrees Celsius and decline to 20, then 17. Race day should be dry with partial cloud and 18 degrees.
