2024 F1 Belgian Grand Prix session timings and preview

The iconic Spa circuit will host the last round before F1 enters a three-week shutdown.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen has won the last three editions of the Belgian GP, effectively his second home race, but he is set to take a 10-place grid drop for exceeding his engine allocation.

With McLaren looking rapid in the last few rounds, Verstappen will have a tough job on his hands to cycle through the field and extend his winning streak at Spa.
