Belgian Grand Prix: Interview With Lewis Hamilton McLaren

Question: What do you think of the Spa Francorchamps circuit?

Lewis Hamilton: ”It’s one of my all-time favourites. Even before I first came here, which was back in 2002 for a Formula Renault race, I played it on my computer - it was always one of the best tracks. It has probably the most exciting corner in Formula 1, Eau Rouge, and it’s one of the few circuits where you really feel like you’re actually going somewhere; you blast off into the forest and get to the top of the hill and can feel the whole circuit beneath you. It’s one of the best challenges in Formula 1.”

Question: Do you regret the disappearance of many of the older so-called ‘driver tracks’?

Lewis Hamilton: ”I don’t regret it, but it’s a shame. I prefer the more historic circuits like Monza, Silverstone and Monaco. You really feel the history of those places whenever you race there; they have real character. Each time they are refurbished, they lose a little more of their individuality - but they are made safer, so we can continue to race on them - so that’s a good compromise.”
