The Belgian Grand Prix has been part of the Formula 1 World Championship since its inception in 1950, making it one of the longest-running and most iconic events in the sport’s history.

• Traditionally held at the legendary Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps

• Occasionally hosted at Zolder (1970s–80s) and Nivelles, but Spa remains its spiritual home

• Known for unpredictable weather, enormous elevation changes, and high-speed drama

It’s consistently a driver and fan favourite, considered a true test of both car and courage.
