Lotus F1 Team driver Romain Grosjean has been handed a one-race ban following his severe collision at the start of the Belgian GP. The driver has been involved in seven first-lap crashes already this season, surely a metric to have been influential in the decision making of the stewards.
The point was that they never wanted to use the hard, and wanted to use something softer than the SS at some races.raymondu999 wrote:What's the point of them making the compounds softer, if they're going to bring the harder step to each race? Last year they brought soft and medium here. With the 2012 compounds being softer, (Paul Hembery said the 2012 Hard was basically almost the same as the 2011 medium, and the supersoft remained identical in both years) what exactly is the point of changing them in the first place?
Sure, to this race... But the races that had the hard compound last year no longer do, and the races that have the supersoft compound this year have a new compound.raymondu999 wrote:I meant, they're basixally bringing last year's same compounds, just under a different name. In which case the renaming, in the context of this race, seems somewhat - nay, VERY - redundant?
Als, the ss is identical to last year's, so slight factual error in your post there
OPP is a definite possibility. But I also see some teams going OOOP for a quicker pace, so that they can really push. Spa's got a good record for overtaking possibilities, which means that teams will default to the quickest possible strategy rather than track position.SeijaKessen wrote:I think tire strategy will probably be O-P-P.
Unless a team has severe tire wear issues we might see a 3-stopper, but I doubt it for the top teams.

I think the safe bet now in each race is with HamiltonRB_[Gnx] wrote:Here is last Year's Pole ( flat out Throught Raidillon and Blanchimont wow)

Last Year's Qualifying was amazing i hope we get the same this year
@Seija , Supersoft in Spa ?
Last Year the Softs were Blistering only because some teams ( especially Red Bull) had aggressive camber ( Nearly -5.0)
My bets are with the Hamilton ..He seems to have a great car potential to achieve pole
