Formula 1 cars hit the Spa-Francorchamps circuit today (Saturday, July 26) for qualifying ahead of the 2025 Belgian Grand Prix.

With sprint action out of the way following this afternoon's race, drivers now switch their focus to the grand prix, with all stars looking for a strong session to give themselves the best possible starting spot for Sunday's main event.

The Belgian Grand Prix marks the beginning of the second half of the 2025 season, with McLaren star Oscar Piastri continuing to lead the way in the drivers' standings following the sprint action earlier today, now nine points clear of teammate Lando Norris.

Friday's sprint qualifying session saw a topsy-turvy finishing order, with Lewis Hamilton having crashed out in SQ1, and both Mercedes drivers in SQ2.

All will be hoping for a better showing when they hit the track on Saturday afternoon.

With that said, let's get into the important details you need to know ahead of today's action!
