Sep.12 (GMM) Ferrari is likely to return to top performance as the circus moves on this week to the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium.

That is the belief of the Maranello based team's chief designer Nikolas Tombazis, after McLaren secured a dominant one-two victory last Sunday on the high speed Monza straights.

Ferrari's F2007, however, has generally struggled this year at circuits such as Monza and also Montreal that put a premium on low downforce and kerb-riding.

So while Spa is still a fairly low downforce circuit, it does feature many more very high speed corners than Monza.

"That, for us is a positive aspect," Tombazis observed. "I think all in all, I am hopeful we can be quite competitive (there)."

Kimi Raikkonen agreed: "We knew that McLaren would be fast at Monza, very strong, and that we were not where we wanted to be.

"For sure they were stronger than us but I think once we go to Spa it should level out a bit."
