Formula 1 returns after its first short summer break with the 13th race of the season at Spa-Francorchamps, the Belgian Grand Prix. This race weekend is a bit different: as it has sprint race on Saturday, there's only one practice session on Friday morning before qualification for sprint, which takes place at 12:00 CEST, local time in Belgium, on Saturday.

The race happens as rivalry between the McLaren teams intensifies due to Oscar Piastri's recent mistakes causing him to reduce his lead in the Driver's Championship, with Lando Norris aiming for a third victory in a row.
