When the Formula 1 championship kicked off in 1950, the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium was one of seven tracks that formed part of the inaugural season. However, the track's inception took place in 1921. 101 years ago, the original track was 14.9km long, running on public roads between the towns of Francorchamps, Malmedy, and Stavelot, as well as the forest and hills of the Ardennes region.
