The Miami Grand Prix may be done and dusted for another year, but motorsport maniacs have a couple more chances to see the F1 stars in their stunning cars on United States soil this year: United States Grand Prix (October 19) and Las Vegas Grand Prix (November 22). However, we are getting ahead of ourselves, as first things first, or next up, it’s the Belgian Grand Prix. The lights go green at Spa at 9 am ET on July 27. It’s the 13th grand prix of an action-packed 24-race season that goes all the way through until December and the curtain-closer in Abu Dhabi.
Thankfully, for the adoring Formula 1 fans all over the planet, the driving stars return to track action at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps on July 27 for the Belgian Grand Prix. It's been a momentous season to date, and we are only at the halfway mark of the 2025 campaign. So strap yourself back in and enjoy the high-octane drama as it continues to unfold.
Lando Norris is the man of the moment. Not only did he win his first-ever home Grand Prix when taking the chequered flag at Silverstone on July 6, he also recorded back-to-back victories for the first time in his F1 career. His Silverstone success meant that he moved within 8pts of his McLaren teammate, Oscar Piastri, at the top of the 2025 Drivers’ standings. Piastri will be keen to return to the top of the podium in Belgium after winning only one of the previous six races, though he remains a constant threat, having finished in the top-3 in all bar two of the twelve Grand Prix so far this season.
However, you have to go back to 2012 for the last time McLaren celebrated a victory at Spa. Jenson Button won that year from the front row of the grid, after securing his first pole position for three years. It’s been the Hamilton and Verstappen show, though, during the most recent renewals of the Belgian Grand Prix. Hamilton took the honours last year, the 5th time in total he had in Belgium, despite finishing second. The initial winner, George Russell, was later disqualified due to an underweight car. Before Hamilton’s 2024 success, Max Verstappen had sprayed the champagne three years in a row at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps.
Let GOAL give you all the important information you need ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix, including the full weekend schedule of events and how you can watch and stream all the action live.
