Dieter Gass: "The track at Spa – one of the best on the calendar. The reason is simple – a great high speed turns complements unpredictable weather. Circle in the spa – the longest of the season, more than seven miles, so the race is all of 44 laps. Rotate Eau Rouge is challenging not only the riders but also the engineers – to provide an effective grip during large vertical accelerations at high speeds, without sacrificing stiffness and height of the suspension, so as not to lose the efficiency of the machine for the rest of the race. It is not easy. The track is not too demanding on the brakes, the average spa need downforce – not so small as to Monza, but smaller than in past races. You can adjust the car and a little more downforce, hoping for rain, but the resulting increase drag and decrease speed on the straights, so the standard situation, so no one goes. Due to the changeable weather it is essential to make the right decisions at the right time to switch to rain tires. On such a long lap, if you make a mistake and were on the road under heavy rain, there is no danger to get to the boxes. If these factors are not enough, you remember that at the first corner here rarely goes without an accident. The spa is really all you need for a fantastic race on this track is always a pleasure to come! "
