I was going to tell you lot off. And those words came into my head. Realised what I'd said, was about to change it, but then I thought..Nah! If you can't beat them join them.

Don't expect too much from trackside catering, the whoopy shacks leave a lot to be desired.

Don't know about you, but I don't watch F1 for the track side catering.

Apparently, you can get some jolly good chips and mayonnaise in nearby Stavelot.

I was just thinking about who the true king of Spa was, and I think it should be Schumacher - his main career results were:

1991 - DNF after qualifying 7th in a Jordan in his first race
1992 - 1st
1993 - 2nd
1994 - 1st (But harshly disqualified for a slightly over worn wooden plank that made no difference)
1995 - 1st
1996 - 1st
1997 - 1st
1998 - DNF (Crash with DC when he was almost a lap ahead)
2000 - 2nd
2001 - 1st
2002 - 1st
2004 - 2nd
2005 - DNF (Punted out by Sato)

I'm not including his comeback, as that didnt represent his performance in his main career.

Yeah but you gotta eat and we weren't all that well prepared for 4 days camping, we had the essentials like beer and crisps but that was all.

At the circuit you had the choice of either a burger or a sausage, with or without chips. An extra euro if you wanted a squirt of ketchup or mayo. And that was all they had, well there was plain or chocolate waffles too both of which came with wasps, the wasps were free.

Those little 250ml bottles of juice were 4 1/2 euros

Silverstone has a much better selection of junk food and you don't have to pay for a squirt of sauce.

I don't think I could have made it another week.

ESPNF1 Adrian Sutil says he is not convinced drivers will be able to take Spa's iconic Eau Rouge corner at full throttle at this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix due to the characteristics of the new generation of F1 cars.

The V6 turbo era has introduced cars with higher top speeds at the cost of reduced downforce, which results in slower cornering speeds and has led to slower lap times this season. The sweeping, high-speed Eau Rouge corner has always been one of F1's most famous but Sutil thinks this year it could be a bigger challenge than ever.

"Eau Rouge is one of my favourite corners and this year it will be difficult to go flat out due to less downforce," Sutil said. "With the new cars we will have more top speed and less grip, so it will be interesting to see how it will be to drive under these conditions.

"Regarding the set-up [at Spa], there are two variations: Either you are fast in sector two and relatively slow on the straights or vice versa. Both set-ups can result in the same lap time."

However, Sauber reserve driver Giedo van der Garde disagrees with his colleague about how drivers can approach the corner this year.

"I believe we will have more top speed on the straights but less downforce in comparison to 2013. [But] I think Eau Rouge and Blanchimont will still be flat out."
