The final race weekend before the summer break takes place this weekend, as Spa-Francorchamps hosts the 2023 Belgian Grand Prix.
The famous track has long held a place on the F1 calendar and is a fan favourite of fans and drivers alike.
Max Verstappen enters the race event comfortably in the lead of the drivers’ standings following his seventh consecutive race win last time out in Hungary.
Spa hosts the third sprint event of the year, following Azerbaijan and Austria.
The alternate format is set to put drivers under added pressure, especially with wet weather forecast to disrupt the weekend.
