How Mercedes is recapturing the FRIC effect
Mercedes' new heave damper unit seems to be making up for the loss of an old technology, while Honda's engine upgrades, the late start of Sauber's development programme and hot weather headaches are also providing technical intrigue at Spa

But a part that probably won't be used this weekend is also worth a look.
