The 2008 Belgian GP Preview
Ferrari claimed a crushing 1-2 at Spa last year and Lewis Hamilton will need to produce something special to stop one or both of the red cars from cutting into his championship lead this weekend
Spa-Francorchamps is one of, sadly, the few 'great' circuits left on the Formula One calendar these days and, even though the track was chopped in half for its re-introduction to grand prix racing in 1983, it still represents the biggest challenge to a driver on the current schedule.
It may be a hop over the Channel and quick blast across northern France for McLaren, but Spa has become Ferrari territory, no doubt about it. Last year's performance was one of the most dominant of the season and, despite closing the gap, McLaren still don't seem to be a match for Ferrari's high-speed aero package.
