Spa = Old, but gold! It’s a short run down to La Source/Turn 1 - 251m

It can get messy down here… ߑ€ So watch out, and nail the exit onto the long straight! #BelgianGP ߇ǰ߇ª #F1 pic.twitter.com/gLY4cTKjWw
Le Raidillon de l‘Eau Rouge! ߘͰߘͰߘ

The most famous section of any @F1 track in the world…
A rapid 300km/h, 12-storey climb, flicking left, right then left again onto the Kemmel Straight! pic.twitter.com/EYH4d4QXSO

It’s flat-out down the epic Kemmel Straight, then hard on the brakes into the fast chicanes of Turns 5 & 6 - better known as Les Combes! #BelgianGP ߇ǰ߇ª #F1 pic.twitter.com/pErWTm2yQa

Turn 7 is a fast right, dropping into the iconic, off-camber Bruxelles hairpin!

Watch as the track falls away from the drivers as they feed their cars down to Turn 9 - the corner with no name… #BelgianGP ߇ǰ߇ª #F1 pic.twitter.com/gJn1xMaBB0
Pouhon! ߑŠ An awesome double apex left-hander taken hard and fast. It just keeps coming at you!

Throw your car in, be brave and hope it sticks as you make the short blast up to Turns 12 and 13… #BelgianGP ߇ǰ߇ª #F1 pic.twitter.com/tMDqCw5noF
Turns 12 & 13 = Fagnes Chicane ߒª

A fast right-left flick through the forest as the track starts to climb again as we head towards Stavelot…

On the brakes into Stavelot - and we’re climbing back towards the start-finish straight!
— Mercedes-AMG F1 (@MercedesAMGF1) August 23, 2018
Stavelot spits you straight into Turn 15, which is crucial to nail as you feed out onto the long run down to the Bus Stop…
It’s flat out from here! ߘ‹#BelgianGP ߇ǰ߇ª #F1 pic.twitter.com/8iGWDXZNKf

With the current era of @F1 cars it’s a flat-out kink these days… but it’s still a fierce corner that can bite if you make a mistake! #BelgianGP ߇ǰ߇ª #F1 pic.twitter.com/pOTMicPQVh
Into the famous Bus Stop ߓ

This section of track has changed over the years - but it’s still challenging to get right…
Jump on the brakes, mind the bumps on the way in, flick right then left! #BelgianGP ߇ǰ߇ª #F1 pic.twitter.com/vmzIToEuic
Cross the line to complete another lap of Spa!
— Mercedes-AMG F1 (@MercedesAMGF1) August 23, 2018
19 twisting corners through the Ardennes. High average speeds. And dramatic elevation changes… ߘ
Spa is one of the world’s greatest racing tracks! #BelgianGP ߇ǰ߇ª #F1 pic.twitter.com/4Hdc1joG6Z
