Spa lifted to a higher level - Ecclestone

Next month, the Belgian Grand Prix will be driven on the renewed Spa-Francorchamps Circuit. After a short absence on the F1 calendar, the favourite circuit of many of the F1 drivers is back on the menu and if it depends on Bernie Ecclestone, not for the last time.

In the Belgian newspaper 'Gazet van Antwerpen', Bernie Ecclestone said: "Why would we say goodbye to Spa? Now there has been invested so much money, there is a supercircuit. We are going to a lot of new places, but beside that we want to maintain the traditional circuits. Francorchamps remains a spectacular track, totally different than the modern circuits. Thanks to the conducted works, Spa has been lifted to a higher level."
