“I particularly loved Spa. It seemed to me the essence of a true grand prix circuit: very quick and calling for great precision, with no margin for error.

 “Nobody will persuade me there isn’t more of a challenge to the driver if he knows he might hurt himself if he goes off. Brick walls and trees and ditches instill a discipline, believe me! I can remember drivers who were quick on ‘aerodrome circuits’, but no threat at all on true road circuits.” - Tony Brooks (winner in Spa 1958)
