Summer is over! Well for Formula 1, and anyone who lives in Britain seeing as the weather is typical rain, great preparation for the Belgium Grand Prix not so much for the rest of us!!
With the people who work in F1 bragging about the luxury cars they are driving to Spa or just the fact they can drive and don’t have to fly, a certain Brazilian has landed himself a race seat.
Bruno Senna who is (one of many) Renault’s reserve drivers is taking Nick Heidfeld seat in the car and will driving for the team at Spa.
Last year we saw him fight at the back of the grid driving for HRT in a car that quite frankly was pretty awful, we weren’t able to see the full potential of Senna’s skills around a track, however earlier this year we saw him in the R30 doing a demo at the WSR event… driving Eau Rouge… backwards… while filming on his I-phone. Now we won’t be seeing him going backwards or using DRS as a ban has been put in place for the corner but I do hope we see him battling near the front!
This race is special for another driver too, it’s Jerome D’Ambrosio first F1 race at his home Grand Prix, the race I’m sure he’s been waiting for since the start of the season. Being a Jerome fan myself, I’m hoping he has a brilliant weekend on and off the track, enjoying every minute of it, after all we haven’t seen a Belgium on the grid for over 15 years.
Spa is always an action packed race, with every driver racing out of their skin to do well at such a famous track, the excitement is helped by VERY unpredictable weather - here’s hoping it rains enough to make it tricky conditions but not too much it doesn’t ruin the fun of the race.
Lets get the second half of the season going with a brilliant race to start it off.
