F1 Race Today: Belgian Grand Prix 2026 start time, schedule, TV channel and FREE live stream

The 2026 F1 Belgian Grand Prix takes centre stage today (Sunday, July 19) as Lewis Hamilton looks to hunt down the Mercedes driver duo of Kimi Antonelli and George Russell.

Since winning his first grand prix in red the Ferrari star has forced his way back into the title fight, and the seven-time champion is now just 32 points behind championship leader Antonelli.

Russell may only be 25 points behind his teenage team-mate heading into Sunday's race in Spa, but the Brit looked way off the pace in the earlier sessions across the grand prix weekend.

Will it be one of the Silver Arrows stars standing on the top step of the podium on Sunday afternoon, or will Ferrari, McLaren or even Red Bull pull off a surprise victory?
