Reverse psychology

In Season 5, Episode 1 of Clarkson’s Farm Jeremy Clarkson asks his farm manager, Kaleb Cooper, if he knows the name of the person driving a tractor and trying to reverse a trailer into a farm shed.

Kaleb responds that he does not.

JC: ‘He’s a Formula 1 racing driver … he can go through Eau Rouge flat out, which is a corner at Spa, which is incredibly difficult and [a] brave thing to do …’

Oscar Piastri won at Spa in 2025. I don’t think he won at reversing that trailer.

Racing returns to Spa-Francorchamps in the Ardennes region of Belgium this weekend and Eau Rouge is a sight to behold. The circuit is famous for many things, including its long straights, challenging corners and wildly changing weather. Drivers love it.
