Formula 1 returns to Spa-Francorchamps this weekend for the Belgian Grand Prix, the first race of the final double header before the summer shutdown.
The circuit hosts a traditional race weekend format, with three practice sessions and one qualifying session scheduled ahead of Sunday’s main event.
Free Practice 1 gets the action underway on Friday, July 17, kicking off at 1:30pm local time CEST, which is 12:30 BST for those watching from the United Kingdom.
Free Practice 2 follows later on Friday evening, scheduled for 5:00pm CEST, or 4:00pm BST for British viewers tuning in.
Saturday brings the third and final practice session, with FP3 beginning at 12:30 CEST, or 11:30 BST for fans based in the UK.
In the championship standings, Mercedes pair Kimi Antonelli and George Russell currently lead the drivers’ title fight heading into this race.
Russell has closed the gap to his teenage team-mate Antonelli, with only 25 points now separating the two Mercedes drivers after the British Grand Prix.
Ferrari remain the closest challengers to Mercedes, with Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc occupying third and fourth in the drivers’ standings respectively.
After a sprint weekend format at Silverstone last time out, the return to a conventional schedule at Spa gives teams more preparation time ahead of Sunday’s race.
In the United Kingdom, the Belgian Grand Prix practice sessions are broadcast live on Sky Sports and Channel 4, with Channel 4 providing a free-to-air option for viewers without a subscription.
United States fans can watch via Apple TV, which currently offers a free seven-day trial for American subscribers looking to catch all the action from Belgium.
Other broadcasters carrying live coverage include Fox Sports and Kayo in Australia, Canal+ in France, Sky Deutschland and RTL in Germany, and RTBF and Telenet in Belgium.
F1TV Pro also carries coverage of the sport depending on which territory viewers are based in, offering an additional streaming option for fans worldwide.
