One of seven original races from the first F1 World Championship season in 1950, held on the 7.004km Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps — the longest track on the current calendar. Nineteen corners through the Ardennes forest with over 100 metres of elevation change, including the Eau Rouge-Raidillon complex climbing 40 metres at a 17% gradient. Unpredictable Ardennes weather and high-speed sweepers define the three-day Grand Prix weekend.
