F1 is finally back and this time the sport is heading to the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps for the 2025 Belgian Grand Prix as Oscar Piastri looks to shrug off his recent winless run. Here are the session times and a full schedule for you to follow all of the action.
Australia’s Piastri now holds a slender lead in Round 13 of the 2025 Formula 1 season ahead of his McLaren teammate after the latter produced two consecutive wins to close the gap in the drivers’ standings to just eight points.
Things could slowly be bubbling towards a crescendo in the campaign as the pair continue to do battle and any crash could potentially offer Max Verstappen a chance to get back into the picture, although that’s looking like a long-shot for the Red Bull man.
And it’s a big weekend for his team in general as they prepare for life without Christian Horner. Their boss of two decades was dramatically fired on July 9 and replaced by Laurent Mekies, who had been in charge of Racing Bulls from 2024.
Elsewhere, Ferrari are looking to finally rescue their season after enduring a miserable start that has seem them winless, with Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton no higher than fifth and sixth in the standings respectively.
The Italians, who finished one win away from taking the constructors’ championship from McLaren at the 2024 Abu Dhabi GP, now trail the papaya-coloured cars by 238 points and it’s a gap only poised to grow unless something dramatic can change the picture.

Whilst this weekend’s 2025 Belgian GP is an emotional one. It’s the final time the race is on the F1 calendar as a regular fixture before it heads to being hosted on a rotational basis going forwards as part of Liberty Media’s aims to introduce new racing venues.
Fans can catch the historic race in 2026 and 2027 too, but cars will not be present at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in 2028 and 2030 in a plan that could also impact the likes of the Emilia Romagna, Dutch and the Spanish GP (Barcelona) too.
So with all that said, here are the start times and a session schedule for the F1 2025 Belgian Grand Prix, hosted from Friday, July 25 to Sunday, July 27.
