The title race took another twist last time out at the British Grand Prix as Andrea Kimi Antonelli suffered another setback, which opened the door for George Russell to reduce his Mercedes team-mate’s championship lead down to 25 points. 

Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton is just seven points further back in third place after securing another podium at Silverstone as Charles Leclerc scored Ferrari’s second win in three races - underlining the Italian team’s threat to Mercedes. 

The 2026 F1 title battle now moves to the legendary Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, which is the longest track on the calendar at 7.000km and features some of the most iconic corners, including Eau Rouge. 

Belgium could be the first wet weekend of the season, with rain currently forecast for all three days of track action at Spa-Francorchamps. 

Antonelli will start from pole position after setting a stunning last-gasp effort on Saturday, with Verstappen alongside him on the front row. Russell starts from third, followed by British Grand Prix race winner, Leclerc.
