“The interactive social wall i🐻s designed to connect fans at the race who can share their experience of practice, qualifying and the race via Formula 1’s social media channels. With two new fanzones being created around the Spa race circuit, the social wall will also keep fans updated with all of the activities taking place around them during the Pirelli Belgian Grand Prix.

“This year is the 50th Grand Prix organised in Spa-Francorchamps, and to celebrate this Formula 1 will💫 also be displaying videos and pictures from the past half-a-century on screens around the fan zones.

“We aim to make the entire race weekend experience an exci🌌ting one ജfor fans, and the fan zone format enables us to celebrate the very best this sport has to offer.

“The return of the Fan Festival at Spa-Francorchamps is important because we have made changes💟 as a result of direct feedback from our fans.
