Watching the GP from the Belgian forests results in a hefty fine

Fans are not allowed to travel to the Spa circuit during the Belgian Grand Prix. The circuit itself is closed to the public, but the woods around it are not. Nevertheless, the Belgian government advises enthusiasts not to entrench themselves in it in order to follow the race.

Via Twitter, the federal police of Belgium explained that fans are not allowed to enter the so-called 'disqualification zone' . Anyone who does so and gets caught will receive a hefty fine. The amount is set at €350 (£313).

Just like at Silverstone, the police will also act firmly. During the British Grands Prix fans were also not allowed to go near the circuit. In Belgium the police have a similar policy.
