Followed by tens of millions of fans at every Grand Prix, Formula 1 may cross all geographical barriers but it still adores returning to its birthplace.
Spa-Francorchamps, a legendary name, a name steeped in history since the 1920s.
Without exception, all of the champions have pitted their skills against this, the most beautiful racing circuit in the world The Belgian Formula 1 Grand Prix is always a race charged with intense thrills and excitement.
In 2004, Juan Pablo Montoya was pressuring a certain Michael Schumacher to let him pass in the chicane. Ferrari was suffering. Prior to this affront from the Colombian, the Emperor Schumi had been forced to let Raikkonen’s McLaren through.
A crazy Grand Prix was underway with no less than three safety cars already on the circuit. His pride piqued, Schumacher was to make an exceptional finish to race, carrying away his 7th world title.
The Francorchamps’ souvenir album is packed with feats of arms all just as impressive.
Formula 1 fans will never forget the incredible audacity of Mika Hakkinen when he humiliated his great rival Michael Schumacher by slowing down whilst passing him in a double overtaking manoeuvre.
The unfortunate Zonta, at the wheel of his Bar Honda, was the privileged witness of this, one of the greatest moments of the season.Beyond the magic of its mythical racing circuit, Spa-Francorchamps always delivers an exceptional Grand Prix. An event not to be missed.
