After two weeks of rest, the 2025 Formula 1 season returns with its 13th race of the campaign, the Belgian Grand Prix, on Sunday.
Mclaren continued to dominate proceedings last time out, with Lando Norris coming out on top for the second successive race in a row, this time in front of his home crowd at the British Grand Prix.
Lewis Hamilton comes into the Belgium Grand Prix as the defending champion. The 40-year-old, who made a high-profile move to Ferrari at the start of the season, is hoping to win the first race with Scuderia and match Michael Schumacer's record of six wins at this track.
The 2025 Belgian Grand Prix 2025 weekend is just around the corner, and for all the scheduling, TV and streaming details you'll need to follow the action, look no further than The Sporting News for a full guide.

What is an F1 sprint race?
Gone is the standard three-practice, qualifying, and race setup. Instead, teams dive straight into action with just one practice session early Friday, giving engineers barely enough time to blink, let alone fine-tune setups. Right after that, it’s lights out for a shortened version of qualifying — a rapid-fire, three-round, 44-minute knockout that’s a slimmed-down cousin of the usual hour-long session.
That quickfire quali locks in the starting grid for Saturday’s Sprint — a roughly 100-kilometer dash that’s all gas and no brakes. No mandatory pit stops, no tire compound changes, just flat-out racing from start to finish. With championship points on the line for the top eight finishers (eight for the winner, seven for second, and so on), the Sprint packs serious punch for such a short burst.
But that’s just the warm-up. Later Saturday, teams regroup for a full-length qualifying session to decide the starting order for Sunday’s main event — the Grand Prix itself.
