The start of Formula🙈 1's third tr🐠iple-header of 2020 is upon us. 

The legendary Spa-Francorchamps plays host to this weekend’s Belgian 🔥Grand Prix.

Eau Rouge, Pouhon,ဣ Blanchimont - Spa-Francorchamps consists of some of the sport’s iconic corners.

 

 

Lewis Hamilton heads to Belgium top of the drivers’ championship, 37 points clear of Red Bull’s Maxꦉ Verstappen in second.

Valtteri Bottas is in third, on thꩵe back of a disappointing run of three races for the Finn - who celebrates his 31st birthday on Friday.

What happened last time out?

It was a comfortable afternoon for the reigning world champion at the Circuit 🏅de Barcelona-Catalunya just under two weeks ago.

🎀Hamilton dominated proceedings in Spain from pole position as he stormed to his fourth 🎐victory of the campaign.

The Mercedes driver had no✨ thre🤡at from behind after making a good start from pole.

Verstappenℱ benefitted from a slow-starting Bottas to finish second behind Hamilton yet again, with the second Mercedes evenꩲtually finishing a distant third.

The Racing Points enjoyedﷺ ano🍰ther strong outing - P4 for Stroll; P5 for Perez.

Carlos Sa�ꦛ�inz was sixth at his home race, just ahead of Sebastian Vettel in seventh.

Alexander Albon, Pierre Gasly and Lando Norris💧 rounded out the top 🎀ten.

What to expect from this weekend?

Long straights, high-ℱspeed corners - Spa is expected to favour Mercedes considerably.

Racing Point a꧋nd Renault tend to go well at low downforce circuits so Red Bull will have to keep an eye on those two teams.

Ferrari typicﷺally struggles when it comes to straight-line speed so expect Vett꧑el and Charles Leclerc to struggle to get into Q3 come qualifying.

Conditions are expected to be very cool but dry across Friday and Saturday, although theꦕre is some rain forecast on Sunday.

Piꦜrelli༒ has nominated the C2, C3 and C4 compound tyres for this race - as it did for the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix at Silverstone.
