F1 Belgian Grand Prix: Start time, weekend schedule, how to watch & TV channel

George Wood Published: 6 hours ago

Following on from Silverstone is the equally iconic Spa-Francorchamps, as the F1 drivers and teams turn their attention to Belgium.

Charles Leclerc stood atop the podium in the English countryside last time out after a stellar drive.

He was followed by three Britons in George Russell, Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris, leaving Russell just 25 points from Kimi Antonelli at the summit of the World Drivers' Championship, and Hamilton 32 from the Italian.

Spa-Francorchamps is a favourite of fans and drivers alike, so a party atmosphere is expected if the sun stays out in Belgium.
