2019 FORMULA 1 BELGIAN GRAND PRIX 2019 1
SPA BELGIUM Often referred to as the Pearl of the Ardennes, this Belgian mountain town is where the word spa comes from. Famed for its multiple natural mineral springs, the town is home to Europe s original health resort it s in the name! First Grand Prix 1950 Number of Laps 44 Circuit Length 7.004km A trip to Spa is not complete without visiting its hot springs and mineral waters, the perfect antidote to a weekend of action-packed racing. A neoclassic marvel for incoming tourists is the Casino de Spa. For those who fancy a flutter, this is still a very much functioning casino, so bring your passport (and some money!). For racing fans, the Musee de Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, located a mere six miles away from the track at Stavelot Abbey, is packed full of racing vehicles, information on the history of the track, as well as an original taxi from 1912. A trip to Spa and Belgium without sampling some of its unique delicacies like a cone of frites and waffles frosted with icing sugar and whipped cream is a trip wasted. In the heart of Spa you will find L Art de Vivre, widely regarded as the best restaurant in Spa. Try it. Attend the 2019 Belgian Grand Prix at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps with F1 Experiences, The Official Experience, Hospitality & Travel Programme of Formula 1, with access including driver meet-and-greets, Paddock Club Reception, Exclusive Pit Lane Walks and more! 2

JEAN ALESI A mercurial and forceful racer, French-Italian driver Jean Alesi first came to prominence by winning the 1987 French F3 Championship. Active Years 1989-2001 Nationality French F1 Win 1995 Canadian Grand Prix After struggling in his first season of F3000 with Oreca in 1988, Eddie Jordan gave him a chance for 1989. Alesi proved the find of the season, clinching the championship despite moving up F1 for Tyrrell halfway through the year. At one stage on his F1 debut at Paul Ricard he was running as high as second behind Alain Prost. Eventually he finished a stunning fourth. As other strong results flowed, including a sensational second place at Phoenix in 1990 behind Ayrton Senna, the top teams began circling. Admitting that his heart ruled his head, Alesi turned down an offer from Williams to join Ferrari in 1991. Alesi s story over the next five years became one of promise tragically unfulfilled as the red cars struggled. More than once he seemed set to win, only for fate to intervene. Eventually, he was replaced by Michael Schumacher and moved to Benetton, where he notched up his first and only F1 victory at the 1995 Canadian Grand Prix on his 31st birthday. Further stints followed with Sauber, Prost and Jordan before Alesi retired at the end of 2001 after 201 Formula 1 starts. Alesi moved to DTM for the next five years, scoring five victories. Alesi now commentates for Canal+. His son Giuliano Alesi will compete in the 2019 FIA Formula 2 Championship alongside Mick Schumacher, the son of Jean s former rival Michael. Alesi is passionate about wine, and has his own vineyard near his hometown of Avignon. 26
