We pulled a Freaky Friday this week on F101 with Friends — Kevin takes over hosting duties, and I hop into the guest seat to break down everything that went down at the legendary Belgian Grand Prix.
We talk about strategy, weather chaos, surprise winners, and why this track — shaped like a pointy gun blasting through the Ardennes — continues to be F1’s ultimate test of guts and grip.
We also dig into Eau Rouge’s eternal mystique, the fear factor of high-speed corners in the wet, and what makes Spa a fan favourite even when it breaks our hearts.
We also give you the 2024 breakdown from George Russell’s rain-soaked heartbreak to Hamilton's redemption arc - Spa served up another iconic chapter in its wild, weather-fuelled legacy.
If you love big elevation, bigger stakes, and a circuit that chews up champions, this one’s for you.
