Motor Racing - Formula One World Championship - Belgian Grand Prix - Race Day - Spa Francorchamps, BelgiumMotor Racing - Formula One World Championship - Belgian Grand Prix - Race Day - Spa Francorchamps, Belgium

The lingering memories of the 2016 Belgian Grand Prix weekend will be the blazing sun, huge queues, packed grandstands and excellent atmosphere as thousands of fans descended on Spa-Francorchamps to watch new local hero Max Verstappen. It meant there was a lot of expectation on the 18-year-old and he failed to deliver on this occasion, but you are almost certain he will in the future and his fans will be back for more.
