As the summer sun warms the asphalt, the Formula 1 world is excited for the Belgian GP 2023. The calendar continues with the date at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps scheduled for July 30. There is no doubt that this race promises an adrenaline-filled spectacle.
We have Red Bull continuing to lead everything in the world of F1 motor racing with two-time world champion Max Verstappen. However, in recent races, we have seen the awakening of Lewis Hamilton with Mercedes and Lando Norris with McLaren, a team that brought significant improvements since the British GP and has managed to sneak onto the podium for two consecutive GPs.
Likewise, Red Bull’s dominance this season is so great that, in addition to having won all the races contested in this 2023 season, they have a record of 12 races won in a row. We hope that with the teams’ improvements, we can have a more balanced fight in the top positions.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that this weekend the Sprint format will be used, where we will have intense competition from the first day, that is, from Friday, July 28, 2023. Below, we will show you the schedule of the Belgian GP:
When:
Practice 1: Friday, July 28
Qualifying: Saturday, July 29
Race: Sunday, July 30
Where:
Spa-Francorchamps
Where can I watch it?
The Belgian GP occurs at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, a track revered by drivers and fans for its challenging layout. With its long straights, tight corners, and unpredictable weather, this circuit tests the mettle of even the most experienced drivers. Also worth noting is the infamous Eau Rouge curve, with its high-speed climb, where legends are forged and races are won or lost.
The Spa-Francorchamps Circuit is one of the longest on the calendar since it has a distance of 7.004KM where we will have 44 laps to run. In addition, the fastest lap recorded in history was in the race of the 2018 season by the Finnish Valtteri Bottas with 1:46.286.

The 2023 season has seen some exciting competition so far. While it is still too early to predict who will emerge victorious at the Belgian GP, a few names stand out.
With his unrivaled experience and exceptional driving skills, Defending champion Max Verstappen is always a safe bet. His team, Red Bull, has dominated over the past two years, but the competition is now closing in on him with Mercedes and McLaren.
Lando Norris, MacLaren’s young Briton, has awakened in the last two GPs and is a force to be reckoned with in this race. In addition, his aggressive driving style and raw speed make him a serious contender, especially if the weather conditions play in his favor.
Likewise, we must keep in mind that it is easy to overtake at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, but whoever manages to win the Pole Position in Friday’s Qualifying will have a clear advantage for Sunday’s race.
