Is there anywhere an overview on which set of tyres they did their fastest laps?

Pouhon is also nice. Get there in time on race day so you can get a place on the hill side so you can see a bit of the next couple of corners aswell of Fagnes..

As ME4ME says. Busstop is impressive!

Les Combes and the inside of Rivage are also great

It's actually all great but go walk around on friday and saterday and pick you place for sunday and be there in time before it gets crowded. Have fun there

Having a bronze tix...hopefully it should be fun and thanks for the tips folks. Pouhan is nice I have heard, but is there a chance to see the cars at Eau rouge. How about food and drinks? are they expensive on site? Also heard that there will be extra measures to keep people safe due to recent events.
I always like the spot on the inside of Rivage, since you have some many options to watch it, close to the track when they come from Les Combes, watching them go into Pouhon and if you take a binocular you can see Blachimont and even start finish.

Yeah, I also missed that graphic. I'll post again if I see anything. Time comparisons are pretty meaningless otherwise...

RB-drivers did improve their times in their last outing. And still on medium-compound?

I think their fastest lap was on medium.
edit. scrap that eh. They did a late run on soft and improved.


Sky being a bunch of idiots once again at the moment. You could clearly hear palmer restart the car with the MGU-K and they somehow thouht the car was still running haha. Even the engineer told him to do it.

Kimi's got some more in hand. He blew up his first flying lap on the SSs and did his best on a 3rd timed I think.

ROS DNF and all is possible.

HAM 3rd or crash. (from the back)
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

Do you think, teams with less Soft tires are on back foot?
