F1 Belgian GP – Start time, how to watch, starting grid & TV channel

Red Bull's Max Verstappen topped qualifying in wet conditions at Spa, but will start the race from 11th due to a grid drop for exceeding his engine allocation.

That will promote Charles Leclerc in the Ferrari to pole position, with Verstappen's team-mate Sergio Perez lining up alongside him in second after a rejevunated performance in qualifying.

Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton will make it three different cars inside the top three ahead of McLaren duo Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, who scored a 1-2 in Hungary last weekend with Piastri taking his maiden grand prix win.

What time does the Belgian Grand Prix start?

The Belgian GP will begin at 3pm local time (+2 GMT) at the Spa-Francorchamps Circuit.
