Belgian GP: facts & figures

2. Spa-Francorchamps’ position on a list of the most popular tracks for Formula 1 drivers and fans, according to a survey conducted by Formula 1 in October last year. Monza is still at Number One, with Silverstone in third place.

28. The average number of overtaking moves in the Belgian Grand Prix. The record was set in 2011, the year Sebastian Vettel won, when there were 60 passes, while the least was five in 2002, when Michael Schumacher was first past the flag in a Ferrari F2002. Last year there was not one change of position, hardly surprising as the only lap to count took place behind the Safety Car when overtaking is not allowed.

55. The percentage of Belgium’s surface area in the Wallonia region, whose capital is Namur and in which the Spa-Francorchamps circuit is located. Belgium is divided into three regions and apart from Wallonia where 99% of the population speaks French, there is the Flemish region where Dutch is the mother tongue and the Brussels region, with both languages spoken in the nation’s capital.

534. The number of points scored by Ferrari in the Belgian Grand Prix. Next up is Mercedes on 329.5, while McLaren is on 312. Apart from its 18 wins, the Scuderia secured a historic clean sweep of the top four places in the 1961 race at Spa. It was won by American Phil Hill ahead of Germany’s Wolfgang von Trips, another American, Richie Ginther and the Belgian Olivier Gendebien, at the wheel of an all-yellow factory Ferrari, Belgium’s racing colour, as Jacques Swaters, the Belgian Ferrari importer had paid for the entry of this fourth car.

4500. The number of stalls selling frites, the world famous Belgian chips, which means there is an average of one for every 2500 inhabitants. According to the FAO, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation, the amount of chips consumed per capita per year is 87.8 kilos.

At Ferrari 75 years ago

At the end of August, Ferrari entered the Coppa del Montenero, near Livorno with a pair of 125 S cars. The race was scheduled for Sunday 24th, but preparations were not going well for Ferrari. Luigi Bazzi destroyed Franco Cortese’s race car in testing and suffered serious injuries, which meant Cortese could not race, leaving just Tazio Nuvolari to drive the other 125 S.

Unfortunately, the great champion’s race was over after just three laps, as he had to retire. The win went to Franco Cornacchia in a Cistalia. Back in Maranello, a disappointed Enzo Ferrari worked on coming up with a plan to strengthen his structure to avoid other days like this. Meanwhile, customers interested in racing the Modenese cars were beginning to knock on the door.
