Other notable names who will take part in the test would be Liam Lawson, F3 champion Dennis Hauger, and Ferrari [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/ferrari/] Driver Academy driver Marcus Armstrong. This will be the first time since his horrific crash in Spa-Francorchamps in 2019 that Correa will return to Formula 2.

Unfortunately, Hubert lost his life while the American-Ecuadorian driver was taken to the hospital. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210216162130/Juan-Manuel-Correa.jpg] Juana Manuel felt at home when he first drove the F3 car in 2021. “The first feelings were really good. I could immediately feel that it is quite similar to how the F2 car drives – it has quite a lot of downforce. I think that throughout the two days I was actually a bit closer to the pace than I was expecting to be, so that was positive, although there are still quite a lot of things to work on,” said Correa. He also mentioned that loved the media attention he had been getting, along with the messages of love and support. “It was nice to get behind the wheel, do what I need to do and take away all of the distractions and start finally working on the season. It has been a long time coming for me, so it was a great feeling to be out there,” said Correa.

<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.
