F1 Belgian GP: Full weekend schedule | How to watch on TV

With the summer break over, F1 is ready to spring back into action with a triple header, starting at one of the world championship’s most iconic venues. 

The legendary Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps plays host to this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix, the first of nine races across a frantic three-month period that will decide the destiny of the 2022 world title. 

Max Verstappen and Red Bull appear to be charging towards a championship double with Charles Leclerc desperate to hit back after falling 80 points adrift of Verstappen following a string of errors and reliability failures that have devastated his world title hopes. 

Verstappen was declared the winner of last year's washed-out race in Belgium on his way to claiming his maiden world championship. 

Mercedes are looking to make it a three-way fight in the second half of the season after Lewis Hamilton claimed five consecutive podiums prior to the summer break.
