The second act of the 2025 Formula 1 season roars back to life at the legendary Spa-Francorchamps, where engines will echo through the Ardennes from July 25 to 27 for the Belgian Grand Prix.
McLaren roll into Belgium on cloud nine after painting Silverstone papaya. Lando Norris snatched a headline-grabbing win on home soil, while Oscar Piastri stormed into second place despite carrying a 10-second penalty—shrinking the title fight gap to a razor-thin eight points.
Off the track, the summer break was anything but quiet. Red Bull dropped a bombshell by parting ways with longtime figurehead Christian Horner. Laurent Mekies now takes the reins, hoping to steer the ship through turbulent waters.
With Lewis Hamilton and Norris already notching Sprint wins in China and Miami, all eyes are on Spa to see if a new name will rise to the top step.
The 2025 Belgian Grand Prix race is finally here and for all your time, TV and streaming details, look no further than The Sporting News for a full guide.
