2025 F1 Belgian GP: Where to watch, timings, all you need to know

F1 will return to racing after a three-week gap between the British Grand Prix and the Belgian GP this weekend. McLaren have dominated the first half of the year as the 2025 season has produced a gripping title fight between the two drivers, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, with Max Verstappen and George Russell chipping in from time to time with incredible performances.

The four-time reigning F1 world champion had started the season strongly and was keeping up with Norris and Piastri, but his title campaign has been affected in the last four races due to some costly mistakes and unfortunate circumstances.

On the other hand, Piastri and Norris have traded blows throughout the year with constant momentum shifts. Heading into the third sprint weekend of the 2025 season, the momentum currently lies with the British driver, who has won consecutive races in Austria and Silverstone.

However, in his two editions of the Belgian GP, the Aussie driver has showcased a knack for pulling off some eye-catching performances around the iconic Spa-Francorchamps circuit, reflected in his P2 finish in the sprint and main race in 2023 and 2024, respectively.
