I'm tipping Kimi to win, he has a superb record at Spa.
Although he didn't do that well in the 2008 race (I think it was that year) - I'm thinking of the race when Hamilton passed Kimi illegally at the new chicane which replaced the bus-stop, immediately conceded the place, but then retook it at La Source, and ended up being penalised.I realise my memory is probably letting me down here, but I seem to recall Kimi was all over the place in that race, and ended up in the wall.

I was there that year, great race shame to hear the result had been changed whilst we were on the coach back to Brussels...I realise my memory is probably letting me down here, but I seem to recall Kimi was all over the place in that race, and ended up in the wall.
Kimi was ok for 99% of the race, but the last 2/3 laps both him and Hamilton were trading places and slipping off the track, Kimi finally binned it in to the wall at Blanchmount (I think)..
Heading out there Thursday Morning (10:15 Ferry) from Dover! First F1 race, although I've seen just about every other form of motorsport...bout time I got to see an F1 event!
Look out for an old red Volvo 850 t5 (with smiley, of course)...laden with camping gear!
Should be a good race, very much looking forward to it!

Button win.
Di resta podium.
Hamilton on the other podium spot for an all British podium?
More chance of Mr Dog Food winning the Derby, I'm afraid. Button could (just about, with a lot of good fortune) scrape a podium, but di Resta? Given that his best this year has been an average 10th place finish with a best of 4th and nothing better than 7th in any of the other races races, predicting a podium for the sullen Scot is a real triumph of optimism over reality. Di resta podium.

Button? Whitmarsh was in the press this week saying that they have sod-all chance of winning the race, and I really don't think he's sandbagging. Button's an exceptional driver though, and good luck (maybe some rain + some of the drivers up front taking themselves out) means he might have a sniff of a podium.
