Reigning World Champion Lewis Hamilton [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/] took to Instagram to post an emotional tribute in honor of Chadwick Boseman. The British driver hailed Boseman as a “superhero” in a moving tribute. Boseman, who played the role of popular Marvel character ‘Black Panther’, passed away after battling colon cancer. The American actor was 43 years old and inspired many across the world in his performances as the ‘Black Panther’ across the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hamilton expressed gratitude over meeting Boseman and signed off with a popular catchphrase from the Black Panther movie. YOU WERE THE BEST OF US: LEWIS HAMILTON “woke up today to the sad news, our super hero passed away. I am devastated. I’m so grateful I got to meet you brother. Thank you for all you have done for us. Rest in Power King, you were the best of us and will never be forgotten. I’m sending love, light and prayers to you and your family. Wakanda Forever” wrote Hamilton [https://www.instagram.com/p/CEd0lSnAhUl/]. Hamilton could dedicate a pole and potential victory in Boseman’s memory at this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix. With Mercedes looking stronger than ever, it’s unlikely for any of the F1 rivals to truly challenge the Brackley outfit in qualifying. With F1 yet to enforce the engine mode ban and Spa-Francorchamps consisting of long straights, Mercedes have a real chance of clinching pole comfortably by quite some margin. Furthermore, Hamilton’s only real competitor today could be his teammate, who topped the timing charts in FP1. Weather forecasts predicted rain on Saturday and during the race-giving the Briton an upper hand thanks to his supreme talent in treacherous conditions. Mercedes [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes] hasn’t won at Spa in recent times and are looking to end their relatively short period of non-dominance. With Ferrari no longer having its once feared straight-line speed and performance, the Brackley outfit has a cleared road to clinch victory. Moreover, team principal Toto Wolff revealed that there was “unfinished business” in Belgium. As a result, Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton are clearly motivated to stand on the top step of the podium on Sunday. 

Defending World Champion Lewis Hamilton took to social media to pay tribute to
"Black Panther" star Chadwick Boseman.

<h2>Circuit Details</h2>
Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Stavelot, Belgium, has hosted various veins of motorsports. The authorities have kept a close eye on maintaining the perfect form of the track, and it has hence been refurbished several times.

The circuit, at present, after the addition of new pit lanes and Bus Stop chicane, measures 7.004 kilometers with 19 turns. It comprises 44 laps with a racing distance of 308.052 kilometers. The grid has quick, complicated, tricky corners, chicanes, turns, and bridges. The first sector is the interesting of all. The hairpin turn 1 is famous for pile-ups during race starts.

And then arrives the world-famous Eau Rouge, which witnesses a steep rise in altitude, almost leaving the drivers facing the sky followed by a massive Kemmel straight, before reaching the tricky section of corners, named Les Combes.

Despite the unprecedented weather situation, it is a beloved track. The circuit demands proper development of skills and strategies along with the speed to stand tall in the race.

It has produced several dramatic and historic races in its term of existence, like in the years 1952, 1963, 1966, 1985, 1995, and 2017. The race for the last race at Spa-Francorchamps went to Lewis Hamilton on August 30, 2020.
