Kemmel straight? Over the years the advantage has swung back and forth. Pirelli are bringing their two hardest compounds to the Ardennes, as was the case in 2012. Last year Jenson Button won with a one-stop strategy, while the majority of the field, including third-placed Kimi Rikknen, opted for two. Of course Spa is one of the most-likely F1 venues to see the intermediate or full-wet tyres in action, and with rain forecast for the weekend theres every chance of seeing another classic, chaotic Belgian Grand Prix.
