At the heart of Spa-Francorchamps sits Eau Rouge - one of motor sport's most infamous corner sequences. But, amid growing safety concerns, Mark Hughes is wrestling with whether it, or even Spa itself, should be cut from F1 entirely
I'm conflicted on the subject of Spa. It's a magnificent natural road course, but the dangers which are very much in the spotlight given two deaths in four years are too obvious to ignore. The exit of Eau Rouge through Raidillon and over the blind flat-out crest forms a topography which – combined with the micro-climate here which means it's rare for it not to be raining sometime during a race weekend – could have been explicitly set up to extract occasional human carnage.
It's very obvious and unrelated to driver skill. Just dumb indiscriminate horrible bad luck if you're the one...
