Spa-Francorchamps also provided plenty of on-track action and the episode shows reactions from the pits as well as raw emotions from both inside the cockpit and the team garages. There’s also footage of private conversations on the grid as pre-race tensions build around which tyre compound to use with the ever-changing weather conditions which Spa is famed for.
