With the Pirelli's you get the same but the opposite! Rain on fridays means the teams are mindboogeling about the race pace! Just as much of a lottery as rain on sundays! Nice, dry race but with the excitement of a wet race (almost)! :D
The speed of Ayrton Senna.
The mind of Alain Prost.
The dedication of Michael Schumacher.
The determination of Alex Zanardi.

Aside that it is just that: a Lottery. wet races always bring forward the better drivers, a wet Spa brings forward the best drivers.

Well they used to. Mclaren have shown us that, for them at least, wet races are still a lottery.

If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

Does anyone have a table with engines used by drivers by Belgium? I don't think I overlooked it, if so, I'll quote that post here...
