Sutil can't wait to return to Spa-Francorchamps
After a four week break the FIA Formula One World Championship returns to action with the drivers' favourite Belgian Grand Prix. Held at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in the heart of the Ardennes forest to the south east of the country, the race is famed for its awesome combination of corners, unpredictable racing, weather and wheel to wheel action that has yielded some classic races.
Adrian Sutil (car 14, VJM03/03): "It's been a busy time despite the lack of racing - I spent a few days in Goa, India, filming and doing some PR work and then went back home to Switzerland for some training in the mountains. After that it was time for a couple of days holiday, finally! I've come back feeling stronger and motivated and Spa is a great track to get going again.
"It's what I call a 'nature' track - through the forests and really follows the lines and contours of the hills. For me, it's is the best circuit on the calendar as it has some of the most spectacular corners of the year, such as the awesome climb through Eau Rouge. There's really nowhere else like it to get your adrenaline going and with the added challenge of changeable weather, we see some great, exciting racing.
"Of course last year the team had a dream result at Spa, with the pole and then the podium, so we'll go back there with confidence knowing that this has been historically a track we've performed very well on. But this is 2010 and we have to look at what we are doing now rather than to the past. I'm pretty confident that we've got a car that will still suit the track very well. We've still got a very strong straightline speed advantage and the F-duct makes us quickest through the speed traps at most circuits we go to - which will help us on the long straights in Belgium.
"We will also test our new blown diffuser again on Friday here. It worked well in Hungary and gave an improvement over the normal floor so we'll work through more development in practice and, if it performs as well as we hope, we'll use it in the race.
"I can't wait to get back out there racing now - I love the track, I know we can perform in any weather conditions and we've got new developments. I really want to be back in the points again in Belgium and start the second part of the season as we mean to go on."
