5 things to expect from the Belgian Grand Prix

Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton(L) and Nico Rosberg are contesting the championship

#2 Can Valtteri Bottas extend his lead over his fellow Finn?

Set to take the ice crown? Valtteri Bottas(L) of Williams with fellow Finn Kimi Raikkonen

Slated to be the next flying Finn, ever threatening to break the valve of ice around Kimi Raikkonen's cool persona, Valtteri Bottas is surely amongst the great finds of the modern day sport.

Firmly sitting at 4 in this year's standings the Finn, who has already secured a podium finish this season at Canada (P3) and some consistent 4th place finishes, is rumored to have claimed the prized Ferrari seat for next season over Raikkonen.

Bottas had a forgettable race at Hungary before heading in for the mid-season break, and will now look to make the most of an intense race weekend here at Spa. If he manages to secure a podium, it will give his chances of driving at Ferrari a major plus and in turn would provide much agony for his compatriot Raikkonen, who seems to be struggling to secure his F1 seat.
