Great to see the F1 season kicks back into life this weekend at one of my all-time top three circuits - Spa Francorchamps - for the 2015 Belgian Grand Prix!! Cool ThumpUp

I think Mercedes will be even stronger here given the pace that their car already has in abundance and they must have developed that even more during the summer break, so will likely remain the top team. I'm not sure Ferrari can run them close again in Belgium like they did in Hungary, UNLESS they've also increased their pace during the mid-season break, so I think the main rivals for Mercedes here will be the Williams, which has the same fast Mercedes engine for the long straight and is recognised as being very fast through corners, of which Spa has some epic ones - watching those guys go flat through 'Eau Rouge' is the best part of any season, and I can't wait!!

1st - Lewis Hamilton

2nd - Valteri Bottas

3rd - Nico Rosberg

This is the first race where they are not allowed help with starts isn't it? The fact that the Mercedes bad starts last race were down to the face they tried starting unassisted could make this race interesting.

I personally would like to see Vettel win and Bottas on the podium. Not a fan of the Mercs.

I agree Tom and Kenjara, though unassisted starts will now apply to the whole of the grid not just those who tried it last time out, so yes, it will be very interesting and Alonso is nearly always quick off the line so he could jump a few places, though there's not too long a piece of track before they all have to throw out the anchors and turn sharp right? With a few anxious drivers having fluffed their start and trying to make up ground I can see a first corner shunt just waiting to happen?!

Wouldn't want to be mid-field at the start of this race!! Blink Blink
