It’s that time of the year again, when Pierre Gasly shows up on the track of the Belgian Grand Prix 2025 with flowers as a tribute to his friend and F1 driver, Anthoine Hubert. This race has always been one of the highlights on the F1 calendar, and whether you’re a casual fan or you breathe F1, here’s everything you need to know about this year’s race.
The Belgian Grand Prix 2025 Key Details
The Belgian Grand Prix 2025 is scheduled from 25 July to 27 July at Spa-Francorchamps. This year’s event will once again include a Sprint race, which means there will be more action across the weekend. The Grand Prix itself will place on 27 July, covering 44 laps of the 7.004 km circuit for a total race distance on 308.052 km.
What to Expect At The Belgian Grand Prix 2025
Several storylines are drawing attention this year. McLaren arrives with momentum as Oscar Piastri holds a slim lead in the Drivers’ Championship, with Lando Norris right behind him after a strong run of recent wins. Max Verstappen, a crowd favourite in Belgium thanks to his Dutch and Belgian roots, goes into the weekend aiming to close the gap in the standings, the first event for Red Bull without Christian Horner as team principal.
Because the Belgian Grand Prix is known for unpredictable weather, teams are preparing for anything from bright sunshine to sudden rain showers. The inclusion of a Sprint means more points are on offer, and the pressure is on, especially for teams looking to recover ground heading into the second half of the season.
Circuit Details
Spa-Francorchamps is one of the oldest and most respected tracks in motorsport. The circuit is 7.004 km long and features famous corners like Eau Rouge, Raidillon, and La Source. Drivers will complete 44 laps on race day. The fastest lap record here is 1:44.701, set by Sergio Perez in 2024. Spa always tests both car and driver with tricky elevation changes, high speeds, and variable conditions, often making for unpredictable races.
