    What do I need to know about the track?

    Spa-Francorchamps is the longest track on the F1 calendar, measuring 7,004 metres.

    The circuit is a favourite with fans and drivers, with long, fast straights and tricky corners making it exciting from start to finish.

    Turns 2–4 are the most famous on the circuit, with the fast chicane of turns 2 and 3 — named Eau Rouge and Raidillon — then flying up the hill to turn 4, which leads to the long straight.

    Coming back down the hill is fast, with sweeping corners ready to catch out the smallest mistake.

    There are several overtaking opportunities for the drivers, with turn 5 at the end of the straight, and the final chicane usually the best spots.
