Purpose

I will try my best to provide detailed info on various cars and what is like to live with them, I have already produced a few for Jaguar-car-forums, I will do my best to be unbiased, but it will be hard for some cars. I will re-produce press releases and copy from other motoring news.

Red Bull drivers review this weekends Grand Prix in Belgium.

Daniel Ricciardo

"Above all, Spa is a racing circuit - one that really encourages exciting wheel-to-wheel action. That said, F1 has changed over the years, and whereas Eau Rouge and Blanchimont were once the stand out sections, now it's probably the Pouhon downhill left-hander at Turns 10 and 11. That's seriously, seriously fast – and probably a good place to watch the race from for anyone prepared for a bit of a hike through the Ardennes. 

Of course, given the Belgium Grand Prix draws in all the petrolheads, everyone's perfectly happy to slog through the woods to find the best view. You bump into people who've been going to the race for five decades. And if you ever go into a pub or restaurant in one of the villages around the circuit, chances are you'll see pictures on the wall of great drivers from back in the day, standing where you are and doing what you're doing. It's great stuff."



Sebastian Vettel

"The race in Spa started our series of nine victories last year, which I always like to remember. The Belgian circuit offers all possible turns and maneuvers: ultra-fast, medium-speed, heavy braking and fast straights. The height difference is so great that you always have the feeling of riding a roller coaster, especially in Eau Rouge. 

The weather can also be very unpredictable and a challenge for drivers and teams. It should never be underestimated; within minutes it can change from heavy rain to sunshine. As well as that, the safety car often comes out at Spa. The track is one of my favorites of the year because it feels like it has grown out of the nature that is all around it. It blends with the natural setting perfectly."
