It is fast, dangerous and the weather is unpredictable.

It is not unusual for one part of the track to be dry and another wet.

This race must be quite special for Michael Schumacher and his fans. Schumacher made his debut here in 1991, won his first Formula 1 race in 1992 and was crowned a World Championship for the seventh time in 2004.

Spa has one of the most famous corners in Formula 1, the Eau Rouge. It used to be quite a challenge to go flat out and take the corner with a speed above 300 km/h, something that only the most stilled drivers were able to achieve.

Nowadays, with all the “modern touches” that a Formula 1 car has, it is the norm for most drivers to take the corner at such speed.

Belgian Grand Prix at Spa is one of the classic Formula 1 races and many fans’ favourite race to go to.
