After what feels like an eternity, the summer break comes to an end this week, and F1 heads to Spa-Francorchamps for the Belgian Grand Prix. With elevation changes and changeable weather conditions, Spa is a roller coaster ride from start to finish, and the teams, drivers, media and of course the fans love it. With that in mind, here’s what’s coming up on this week’s #f1chat…
We’ll begin by previewing the race – what are your predictions for the weekend? Who will be on pole? Who do you think will win? Lotus will be bringing their Double DRS to Spa and say they expect it to give them an extra half a second per lap – do you think they could win this weekend? What about the other teams – who do you think will be a step ahead following the summer break?
Michael Schumacher will celebrate his 300th GP this weekend at the very circuit he debuted at – what can we expect from him this weekend?
Everybody loves Spa, and news this week sees the circuit remain on the calendar for the next 3 years – what are your thoughts on this? And what is it you love most about the circuit? Is it the elevation changes? The impact of the unpredictable weather? What about the corners – the circuit hosts some of the most famous corners on the calendar – which is your favourite?
Last week we reminisced about how we got into watching F1 and our favourite memories. Let’s focus on Spa, which some of you mentioned last week – what are your favourite Spa memories?
Join us tomorrow at the usual time of 4pm Eastern US, 9pm UK using the #F1Chat hashtag to answer the questions and tell us your memories of Spa. And don’t forget, the following Monday, we’ll be reviewing the race. As I will be in Belgium this weekend, there will be no post-race #F1Chat, but we look forward to talking about the on-track action on the Monday.
