F1 Race Today: Belgian Grand Prix 2023 start times, schedule and TV channel

After two days of rain and start delays, it looks like Formula 1 fans might finally have a meaningful session starting on time on Sunday.

The forecast for the feature race looks much better than the preceding two days, meaning Max Verstappen should be able to start his anticipated romp through the field at the scheduled time.

The Dutchman will start from sixth on the grid thanks to a five-place penalty handed down for a gearbox change but, if history is anything to go by, it shouldn't hinder him too much.

The rest of the field should feature some fascinating scraps though, with Sergio Perez starting alongside polesitter Charles Leclerc as both look to get their seasons back on track – while the explosive young McLaren pair of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri hunt them down.
