Spa pays host to the Belgian Grand Prix this weekend, and Jaguar go there with some new components to the front suspension in a bid to finally get to grips with the problems associated with the front wing of the car all season.

One of the best tracks on the GP calendar with both drivers and fans, Spa is known for it's unpredictable and highly changable weather. It is very rare for a GP weekend to pass without rain at some point and this could have a negative effect on the Jaguars.

Eddie Irvine is looking forward to re-visiting Spa, despite an incident packed Belgian GP last weekend, "For me this weekend should be an enjoyable race after the monotonous Hungarian circuit. Spa is one of the few old tracks remaining on the F1 circuit and it deserves its place on the calendar as it continues to provide drivers with challenges both in qualifying and the race itself."
