July 26, 2023 by Clint Anderson Leave a Comment

The format of the Belgian GP will change to a sprint format, resulting in teams having only one practice session prior to qualifying. Due to the anticipated rain on Friday, teams might have limited or no opportunity to test their cars under dry conditions before their set-up becomes fixed according to parc ferme regulations.

Lewis Hamilton, a Mercedes driver, has achieved the highest number of wins at Spa among the current grid, with a total of four victories. His most recent triumph occurred in 2020. Nevertheless, the last two races in Belgium were claimed by Max Verstappen of Red Bull.
