Spa-Francorchamps is one of four tracks which was part of the inaugural Formula 1 season in 1950.
The Belgian Grand Prix itself has made an appearance during most seasons and has been a fan favourite event for decades.
It's no surprise to see Michael Schumacher tops the standings for the most Belgian GP wins. It's the event where he won his maiden Formula 1 race in 1992 for Benetton and he went on to be victorious on five more occasions.
Ayrton Senna is second on the list with a great win in 1985 followed by four consecutive victories from 1988 to 1991.
Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen are the most successful drivers at the Belgian GP from the current F1 grid. Raikkonen and Spa used to go hand in hand with the high-speed circuit suiting his style perfectly during his first 10 seasons in F1.
