After a well-deserved break, it is finally time for a Formula 1 race again this weekend. Even better, it is the start of a triple header, because after the race at Spa Zandvoort and Monza are just around the corner. Can Max Verstappen take back the lead in the world championship from Lewis Hamilton?
Swing
At the F1 Nation Podcast, Damon Hill thinks it's going to be exciting: "We've seen a swing. We've definitely seen a swing back to Mercedes. And that started at Silverstone. I really didn't think Lewis would win over Max in Hungary, but what a great race that was for a variety of reasons."
Chance of incidents
"It's another fast circuit like Silverstone. They've already shown they're not afraid to collide at high speed, but Spa is a whole other level of risk. It's a worry. If I was Michael Masi at the driver briefing for the weekend, I'd say, 'Listen guys, respect this place, it's one of the fastest circuits we go to. We don't want any nasty accidents,'" the British former world champion said.
Hill, therefore, does not entirely rule out the possibility that a few things could happen at the fast circuit in Belgium. "Of course we had some nasty incidents in the F2 races not so long ago. You know, there is an extra risk, especially when it's wet. Wet races at Spa are not for the fainthearted."
