Formula 1 continues its European vacations this weekend as the summer season heads to the Belgian Grand Prix 2025 live from Spa-Francorchamps on RTBF, streaming for free, until its conclusion on Sunday, 27 July. The service isn't just showing the race either with the Sprint race, qualifying and practice sessions also available for viewing on the platform.
The Belgian platform will show every overtake and pit stop as McLaren duo Lando Norris and Drivers' Championship leader Oscar Piastri renew their rivalry after successive one-two finishes and a mini-spat at Silverstone after the Australian picked up a harsh penalty and had to be demoted for his team-mate. Just eight points separate the top two.
Elsewhere in the paddock, all eyes will be on defending world champion Max Verstappen after his Red Bull team principal Christian Horner's recent sacking. Will the Dutchman be persuaded to stay as a result?
