PALMER: How the Sprint format and the weather conspired to give us brilliantly entertaining racing at Spa

We saw some brilliant racing at the Belgian Grand Prix, on a weekend where downforce levels and top speeds differed across the teams more than anywhere else this season.

Usually at Spa there is a balance to be had between having low downforce for sectors one and three and having higher downforce for the middle sector, where there are plenty of medium to high speed corners.
