Formula 1 returns to the famous Spa-Francorchamps circuit for the Belgian Grand Prix and round 10 of the 2026 season.
Kimi Antonelli endured a frustrating race last time out at Silverstone, finishing outside the points, but he still has a healthy lead of 25 points to Mercedes teammate George Russell in the championship standings.
Charles Leclerc secured his first win of the season for Ferrari at the British GP, ahead of Russell in seecond and Lewis Hamilton in third. Hamilton trails Russell by just seven points in the championship leaderboard as he eyes a record-breaking eighth world championship.
Lando Norris finished just off the podium in Silverstone and missed out on a win in Belgium last year to McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri.
