The highly anticipated Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps in Francorchamps, Belgium promises to be an exciting event as the Formula 1 season reaches its midpoint. Scheduled for Sunday, July 28 at 8:55 a.m. EST, the race will be broadcast on ESPN and ESPN Deportes, with live streaming available on FuboTV and DirecTV Stream. Max Verstappen and Lando Norris are the top contenders, with Charles Leclerc starting in the first position.
Verstappen faces a 10-place penalty in the race, while Norris comes in fourth. The race is expected to be a tough competition with McLaren’s resurgence challenging Red Bull’s dominance this season. Norris showed impressive pace during practice sessions, indicating that he could pose a serious threat to Verstappen’s lead.
Despite Verstappen’s recent struggles and frustration over strategy issues, he remains the favorite with a comfortable lead over Norris in the championship standings. McLaren is closing the gap on Red Bull in the constructors’ championship, further intensifying the rivalry between the two teams.
While Verstappen has been dominant in previous Belgian Grand Prix races, the penalties and increased competition this season add an element of uncertainty to his chances of continuing his winning streak at Spa-Francorchamps. With McLaren and other teams closing in on Red Bull, the Belgian Grand Prix promises to be an exciting and unpredictable event for Formula 1 fans around the world.
