Thank you very much for your attention during this broadcast of the Belgian Grand Prix. Unfortunately the race was cancelled, now we will have to wait until the Dutch GP to enjoy Formula 1 again.

MAX: “It’s a win but not how you want to win. I think the credit goes to the fans who stayed here in these rainy conditions”

LEWIS: “The fans have been incredible to stick with us... You couldn’t really see five metres in front of you… It’s a shame because I wanted to race”

GEORGE: "First I want to say sorry to the fans about the rain and say thank you for staying out with us today. "The whole team deserve it. We haven't always been rewarded for our hard work, but here we are on the podium"

Valtteri Bottas is the current holder of the fastest lap achieved at the Belgian circuit. In 2018 he achieved a time of 1:46.286 in his Mercedes W09.

The winner of the last qualifying run at the 2020 Belgian Grand Prix was Britain's Lewis Hamilton, who clocked 1:42.323 in Q1, 1:42.014 in Q2 and 1:41.252 in Q3.

Hamilton also ended up winning the race.

The Spa circuit is one of the most challenging on the calendar. The stewards will pay special attention to drivers who exceed the limits of the track in three areas in particular. They will be behind the edge of Turn 4, at the exit of Turn 9 and at Turn 19.

In case of exceeding these limits both in qualifying and in the race, the driver in question could be penalized.

The Spa-Francorchamps circuit is one of the oldest in Formula 1. It was part of the first world championship of the category in 1950 and the track has a length of 7.004 kilometers, being the longest circuit of the calendar. In total, there will be 44 laps during the race.
