Like I said, loads of reasonable prices for the 1 day tickets. I'm there for a while and thought i'd do the 3 days.

 

I completely forgot about that! So here it is for everyone else's viewing pleasure! Awesome skill...

Have fun Mark, I am sure it will be an awesome 3 days!

 

BBC are reporting Heidfeld has been dropped this weekend and Renault will be running Senna.

 

Looking forward to Spa this weekend. was the first GP I went to outside the UK and absolutely love it there.

We are thinking about Singapore next year if we could combine it with a holiday in Malaysia / Thailand. Other than that I quite fancy a trip to Monza...anyone been ?.

Not sure if Senna is the right choice over Heidfeld. However it seems he bring with him a fairly substantial cash incentive....

on the subject of Senna, anyone know when this is likely to be broadcast on Sky BO ?

 

Monza? Yes been there.

I think it was in 2000 (the year there was a huge accident in front of me at the second chicane and a marshal was sadly killed by the debris)...

Well worth a trip just for the atmosphere - the tifosi are a hoot... the races, if dry, tend to be a little on the dull side (but who knows this year with the tyre factor). I bought my tickets direct on the Monza website but I believe they are sold out for this year. There are other sites where you might pick up tickets e.g. FIA but these sites tend to add a premium...

 

Sorry its a bit late, almost forgot!!

Can't wait! I think Senna replacing Heidfeld is an interesting development but hardly surprising, he has been around Renault GP like a hornet attracted to jam recently...

 

Best race circuit of the year this, and if the weather is as unpredictable as ever will be a cracker of a race. Hamilton will be my tip to win, Teflonso second, and our man Button third.

 

I like the predictions! Unfortunately I am on a driving trip to the Alps to go to my cousins wedding so I will miss out on all this, we are not even taking the S2k, taking the X5 so going to be a really dull drive, haha!

So got to catch up on all this after the weekend, Spa is normally a cracker and with the how the current season has progressed and the action we have had already I bet this weekend is going to be awesome! Cannot wait to watch is now on Monday/Tuesday!

 

Any idea why free practise is not available on BBC Iplayer or the rouge button? I hope that the decline in coverage has not started already

Just watched practice today, and for the dry few minutes I am jsut amazed at how late they brake. I watch F1 a fair bit, but when you see it on a circuit you've driven a lot, it puts things in perspective. At the end of the Kemmel straight they start braking at the bloody kerbing, and that's from god knows what speed!

Just hope it stays dry, as it's an amazing track.
