The Belgian Grand Prix goes down this weekend, and we’ve got all the information you could possibly need, including the UK start time.
On Sunday, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps will play host to one of the biggest and most historic races of the season. Current front-runner, Max Verstappen, will return to his homeland, determined to get the victory in front of his adoring fans.
The Belgian-born Dutchman looks set to pick up his second world title after separating himself from Charles Leclerc in recent races. The Ferrari man started well, winning the first race of the season, but soon tailed off due to a race-ending mistake in France, and the unreliability of his car.
However, with the pressure of returning to his place of birth on his shoulders, many are curious to see how Verstappen will handle the occasion. Therefore, we’ve compiled everything you need so you won’t have to miss a second of the action.
What is the Belgian Grand Prix UK start time?
With George Russell, Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton all featuring in the top half of the Drivers’ Championship, a lot is riding on this for British fans.
The UK start time of the Belgian Grand Prix race proper is at 2pm BST on Sunday.
