PADDOCK PASS: The F1 grid reflects on an emotionally-charged return to Spa-Francorchamps

Usually a trip to Spa-Francorchamps is a treat for the F1 paddock – but the joy was tempered this year by memories of the loss of F2 racer Anthoine Hubert at the circuit a year ago, something that was very much on the mind of the drivers as they spoke to the media on the Thursday of the Belgian Grand Prix.

Join Will Buxton as he gets the reaction from the drivers ahead of what’s set to be an emotional weekend at Spa – a track that, despite recent bad memories, continues to awe and inspire the F1 grid.
