On the occasion of the 2020 edition of this Belgian Grand Prix, Motors Inside invites you to revisit the key figures of this unmissable Formula 1 event.
In 2018, in Q2, Sebastian Vettel set the fastest lap on the circuit. Due to the rain hitting the circuit in Q3, no driver was able to beat the four-time world champion’s record that year.
5: With 5 pole positions, Lewis Hamilton is the most successful driver in qualifying on the Belgian circuit. He achieved this feat in 2008, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2018.
**6:** Michael Schumacher is the most victorious driver at Spa-Francorchamps. His first Formula 1 victory was in 1992 with Benetton on the legendary Belgian track. The German won 5 other races on this circuit.
**7.004:** This is the length of the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, making it the longest track on the calendar ahead of Baku and Silverstone.
9: It is obviously the seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher who is the driver with the most podiums collected in Wallonia. He is closely followed by Lewis Hamilton and Alain Prost.
17: Ferrari is the most successful team on the track created by Jules de Thier and Henri Langlois Van Ophem. The Scuderia’s first victory there was in 1952 with Alberto Ascari and the last in 2019 with Charles Leclerc.
