Race Briefing BelgiumIt’s Ian Albiston (Shell Formula One Project Manager) here. Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium is one of the most historic tracks on the Formula One calendar and also one of the most unpredictable and exciting of the year, where rain often falls on one side of the circuit and the sun shines on the other!
Set in the hills outside Liège, this remote circuit is a pilgrimage for true Formula One fans from around the world. The Spa circuit is well-known for having a number of sharp hairpins and high-speed flowing turns, as the cars wind their way around the tree-lined track. One of the hilliest circuits on the calendar, the G-Force generated at corners such as Fagnes or Radillon will peak at 3.2. As a result of these extreme conditions and loadings put on the cars, the engines will suffer from a huge range of stresses.
