Following a brief break in the Formula 1 calendar, the second half of the 2025 season resumes with a double-header beginning at the historic Spa-Francorchamps circuit for the Belgian Grand Prix. Here’s where to watch the action.
Renowned for its fast, flowing layout and unpredictable weather, Spa is one of the most cherished venues on the calendar. However, the return to racing comes amid significant off-track developments that could shape the rest of the season and beyond.
The most seismic news is the departure of Christian Horner from his position as Red Bull team principal and CEO just three days after the British GP, marking the end of an era that saw him lead the team to eight drivers’ championships and six constructors’ titles.
Red Bull have appointed Laurent Mekies, previously of Racing Bulls, to take the reins in a season that has veered off course compared to the team’s 2023 dominance. Can this swap satisfy Max Verstappen enough to keep him at Milton Keynes?
Speculation around defending world champion’s future has intensified amid talks of a potential switch to Mercedes to link up with Toto Wolff, with his commitment to the team until 2028 is increasingly under scrutiny in the face of rumoured get-out clauses.
Another team with eyes watching them is Ferrari who appear to be gradually building momentum with podium finishes in three of the past five races and consistent top-five results since Imola in May.

Ferrari have tightened their grip on second place in the constructors’ championship and could take a step forwards again as the team has been working to address ongoing handling issues, particularly through changes to rear suspension components. Will they work for Maranello?
And what can Sauber do? The race at Silverstone delivered an emotional moment as Nico Hulkenberg secured the first podium finish of his F1 career, a feat 14 years in the making that proved an impressive march of progress from the Swiss team.
Following a key upgrade introduced in Spain, Sauber has amassed 35 points in the last four races, placing them as the fourth-highest scoring team in that period. Can they keep the good times rolling before becoming Audi in 2026?
