Remembering Spa three decades on

Cheever's last race at Spa was in the 1989 Belgian Grand Prix and he has happy memories of the place - two of his nine F1 podiums came at Spa.

"I had a really good race here in the Renault in 1983," recalls the 52-year-old. "One of the qualifying sessions was wet and my car was exceptional.
