Watch Max Verstappen lap Belgium in a slot car
Max Verstappen races around a scale model of Spa-Francorchamps, home of the Belgian Grand Prix, in a slot car.
Born in Belgium, raised in Monaco, racing for an Austrian team based in Great Britain, Max has four home Grands Prix. The Belgian Grand Prix happens to be held on Max’s favourite circuit – Spa-Francorchamps. He was born less than an hour up the road from the track which is one of the most challenging and historic in F1.

Max Verstappen’s model guide to Spa F1 track
Watch as Max Verstappen guides us around a model of the Spa-Francorcamps, the Belgian Grand Prix circuit, in a slot car.
Beauty and the beast
It’s easy to see why Spa-Francorchamps is the one the drivers want to beat: it’s old school and a true challenge of skill and endurance. Spa is the longest track on the calendar, a circuit that flows through the beautiful Ardennes with famous corners like Eau Rouge, Blanchimont and Pouhon. It’s a beast that has tested the greatest racing drivers down the years.
We’ve captured the splendour of this spectacular circuit in 1:24 scale as we’ve painstakingly recreated Spa-Francorchamps in our own home using Carrera tracks and slot cars. And we’ve added a few touches of Belgian culture along the way.
