Is it going to play a role at Spa again? "That's usually changeable"

Sebastian Vettel is looking forward to the Formula 1 race at Spa-Francorchamps. According to the German, the track is unique because of the differences in altitude and the fact that having a lot of downforce is not important during the race.
Big challenge
"The Spa circuit is truly unique. No other track we visit has so many variations in height. It continually climbs and drops, a feature you can’t really appreciate seeing it on television", explains Vettel in a Ferrari race preview.
Vettel says the circuit is quite a challenge because it has some of the most difficult corners and fun corners on the calendar: "Such as Eau Rouge, Pouhon and the esses before Stavelot, which in French, they call a 'piff paff'."
Weather conditions
The weather will also play an important role according to the four-time world champion: "It’s medium to low in terms of downforce requirement, but all sorts of factors can affect how you do in the race, starting with the weather, which is usually changeable. So you need to be able to tackle all the variables in the best way possible."
