On the legendary Ardennes circuit, the beautiful battle between Mercedes and Ferrari will continue. The Maranello team has won two of the last three races held and after Lewis Hamilton’s first red victory in Barcelona, Charles Leclerc’s success in Great Britain followed.
On paper, the Belgian track should favor Mercedes-powered cars, but after what happened at Silverstone where the Ferrari SF-26 surprised everyone, it is pointless to make predictions ready to be disproved by the track. Andrea Kimi Antonelli leads the Drivers’ standings by 25 points over George Russell, Lewis Hamilton is at -32, and Charles Leclerc closes the top 4 at -71.
The event will be broadcast live in full on Sky Sport F1 and NOW, while on TV8 the Qualifying and the Grand Prix will be aired in delayed broadcast on Saturday and Sunday at 18:30 (times to be confirmed). On FormulaPassion.it you will find live text coverage of all the sessions featuring F1 on track. Below are the details of the schedule, the characteristics of the Spa circuit, and the roll of honor of the Belgian Grand Prix. F2 and F3 will also be on track.
