How to watch the Belgian Grand Prix: Free, online, live stream and F1 TV

Formula 1 returns from its summer shutdown at one of its most intense locations, Spa-Francorchamps, for the Belgian Grand Prix.

Last year's race through the Ardennes Forest saw a huge incident at the start between Charles Leclerc and Fernando Alonso, before Sebastian Vettel went on to win - the German has not tasted top-step champagne since.

Ferrari will hope that the rapid circuit plays into their hands this time around, but it seems too late to stop Mercedes' title charge... or is it?

Leclerc will start on pole for the third time this year. Can he take a first win, or will Vettel repeat last year's run from P2?

Here's how you can tune in to find out.
