F1 Sprint Race Today: Belgian Grand Prix start times, schedule, and how to watch live on TV

Max Verstappen, generic, Belgian GP, 2025

The 2025 Formula 1 season continues at Spa on Saturday, July 26, with the Belgian Grand Prix sprint.

Saturday's action will mark the third F1 sprint race of the season so far, with Lewis Hamilton having previously won in China, whilst Oscar Piastri was the driver to take the win in Miami.

Piastri has a great chance to make it two sprint wins in 2025 on Saturday, too, having put his car on sprint pole in dominant fashion on Friday.

Heading into the race, the Australian star continues to lead the drivers' championship, eight points clear of McLaren teammate Lando Norris, who lines up third.

It won't necessarily be a straight fight between the two papaya cars, however, with Max Verstappen having separated the pair in qualifying and set to start on the front row as a result.

With 15 fast, frantic laps in store, and even the possibility of some rain, it will certainly be interesting to see who comes out on top.
