Join us at Spa-Francorchamps from July 17 to 19 for the ninth round of the 2026 F1 season.
F1 returns to one of its most iconic circuits with the Belgian Grand Prix, held from July 17 to 19, 2026, on the legendary Spa-Francorchamps track. As the tenth race of the world championship, this Ardennes event is a must-see before the summer break, both for its prestige and its often unpredictable nature.
Located in the heart of the Belgian Ardennes, Spa-Francorchamps has a unique history. The original circuit, created in 1921, used open roads connecting Francorchamps, Malmedy, and Stavelot, spanning nearly 15 kilometers. Renowned for its exceptional speed but also its danger, it hosted the first Belgian Grand Prix counting for the Formula 1 world championship in 1950. Modernized in 1979, the current 7.004 km layout has retained its character, featuring iconic sequences such as Eau Rouge-Raidillon, Les Combes, Pouhon, and Blanchimont. Its elevation changes, long straights, and often changing weather make it one of the most demanding challenges of the season.
After Charles Leclerc’s first victory at Silverstone two weeks ago, Ferrari arrives with confidence, but Mercedes seems to have found its form again. The first free practice sessions held on Friday did not establish a clear hierarchy. Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, and Charles Leclerc occupied the top three spots in the first session, before Kimi Antonelli surprised everyone by clocking the fastest time in EL2 with 1’45″944, ahead of Lando Norris and Verstappen.
The suspense remains high ahead of Saturday’s busy schedule. The drivers will partake in a third free practice session at 12:30 PM, the final opportunity to fine-tune their setups, before the qualifying sessions scheduled for 3:40 PM, which promise to be particularly competitive on a circuit where grid position can be crucial.
