So I guess I'll start it off this time.......................................................................................

Who will win. Well I hope for a Ferrari one and two or a Massa 1st and Kimi 2nd and also a Lewis Hamilton getting zero points. This is what I hope of course, but will happen is this. There is going to be a race. In this race there are going to be formula 1 cars. In these cars will be drivers wanting to win. At the end of the race there will be one race winner. And until someone crosses the chequered flag on that day, I don't know who the winner will be.

Yes true that is. Spa is a very nice track. The location of the track is nice as well. Mountainess and forests. Now they should bring back the old Hockenheim plus Imola and get rid of these bullcrap circuits like Bahrain and Malyasia and things wil begin to look better again. Afterall F1 is mostly a European sport anyway.

I think that Kimi will get a good result here because he has always done well at Spa and I think that Massa will be second with Hamilton 3rd.

I'm hoping Williams' new front wing will finally stop them doing poor at aero-circuits. Also the fact their Toyota engines will have been "upgraded" as well means they might have a fighting chance of staying ahead of Renault and Red Bull whilst they continue their -quite literal - power struggle. Nico has said the front wing will give them at least 2 tenths.

Starting earlier every time, aren't we?
Well, let's see... I hope Kimi returns with a style and wins this thing. I look forward to another strong performance from Vettel and I hope that Kubi's podium has marked the return of his best performances and he finishes in the top three again.

Yes, yes, yes, good old Spa weather. And don't forget it's 10 years since this happened...

Coulthard made my entry to the world of Formula 1 very exciting indeed

I love that race. I don't think any other race would've got me so interested in the sport at that age.

I can't believe it's already 10 years when that crash happened it feels like it was yesterday, and I'll still be saying that in another 10 years time when I start to go grey.

Spa-Francorchamps – one of the few remaining classic circuits left on the Formula 1 calendar – may have to be shortened for future editions of the Belgian Grand Prix.

The Ardennes track has welcomed F1 on no fewer than 40 occasions since the official inception of the world championship back in 1950, and is a popular venue amongst drivers for its challenging nature.

The original layout, though, used to be some two times the length that it is now, and reports coming out of Belgium suggest the longest circuit on the sport's current schedule – at a fraction over 7km – could be shortened again, with the approval of F1 ringmaster Bernie Ecclestone.

This would be achieved by linking the Pouhon left-hand sweepers with Blanchimont to cut out the high-speed Fagnes chicane and Stavelot, with the existing Pouhon and Blanchimont sections also likely to be modified.

f1-club.be claims the alterations may well take place within the next two years – possibly even in time for the 2009 grand prix – and world championship leader Lewis Hamilton has expressed that the gradual disappearance of many of the sport's more demanding and most-loved ‘drivers' tracks' is a shame, even if he acknowledged that he understood why changes need to be made.

“You really feel the history of those places whenever you race there,” the McLaren-Mercedes star reasoned. “They have real character.

“Each time they are refurbished they lose a little more of their individuality, but they are made safer, so we can continue to race on them – that's a good compromise.”

Such suggestions, however, have been rubbished by circuit spokesman Luc Willems, who told the Dutch language f1today.nl: “Spa has always been unique. Our circuit is as it is, and that is not going to change"
