After a splendid Hungarian Grand Prix, here are the WEATHER and SCHEDULE for the Belgian GP!
In 2021, Max Verstappen won a race of only two laps; in 2022, it marked the beginning of the reigning champion’s true dominance; in 2023, the Dutchman won with a 22-second lead. This is the kingdom of Super Max, who has an urgent need to redeem himself and silence the many criticisms following discussions with Lambiase.
The History of Spa Circuit
The Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, located in the Belgian Ardennes, is one of the most iconic and historic tracks in the world of Formula 1. Established in 1921 as a 14-kilometer track, it was designed along public roads between the towns of Francorchamps, Malmedy, and Stavelot. Spa immediately imposed itself as a technical and physical challenge for drivers, with its fast corners and continuous elevation changes.
Among its most famous corners are Eau Rouge and Raidillon, a combination of uphill curves that are still considered perhaps the most iconic section in history. The track has undergone numerous modifications over the years, both to improve safety and to adapt to modern standards, but its layout has always remained similar.
Over the years, Spa-Francorchamps has become synonymous with high-level car racing, hosting not only the Belgian Grand Prix of Formula 1 but also endurance events like the 24 Hours of Spa. However, in recent years, the circuit has witnessed two terrible tragedies: in four years, Stavelot has claimed the lives of Anthoine Hubert and Dilano Van’t Hoff, two young motorsport talents.
Regarding the weather, the unpredictable climate of the region, with frequent rain, has created epic races and unexpected twists, often overturning the strategies of teams and drivers.
