Strategy
In contrast to the previous race,
strategy is not as important at Spa as out and out pace and
driver skill. There are numerous passing places on the circuit
(La Source, out of Eau Rouge on the run up to Les Combes,
the braking point into Kemmel, the Bus Stop etc etc) so a
suitably determined and skilful driver should find a way past.
Rain is often a factor at Spa and this can play a part in
strategy as a greater flexibility in pitstops can pay dividends
if it starts to rain during the race. One or two stops is
the way to go with one stop being preferable in terms of time
but two stops allowing greater flexibility and is the way
most teams go. Spa is one of the few tracks where the pit
action is not more exciting than the racing!
