The start of Formula 1's third triple-h꧅eader of 2020 is upon us. 

The legendary ﷺSpa-Francorchamps plays host to this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix.

Eau Rouge, Pouho𝓡n, Blanchimont - Spa-Francorchamps consists of some of the sport’s iconic corners.

Lewis Hamilton heads to Belgium top of the drivers’ ch🗹ampionship, 3♊7 points clear of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in second.

Valtteri Bottas is in third, on the back of a disappointing run of three races ꦬfor the Finn - who celebrates his 31st birthday on Friday.

What happened last time out?

It was a comfort🌊able afternoon for the reign🐟ing world champion at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya just under two weeks ago.

Hamilton dominate🐽d proceedings in Spain f🌱rom pole position as he stormed to his fourth victory of the campaign.

The Mercedes driver had no threat fr♍om behind after making a good start from pole.

Verstappen benefitted from a slow-starting ꦛBottas to finish second behind Hamilton yet again, with the second Mercedes eventually finishing a distant third.

The Racing Points enjoyed another strong outin🍰g - P4 for Stroll; P5🦩 for Perez.

Carlos Sainz was sixth at his home race,🔯 just ahead of Sebastian Vettel in seventh.

Alexander Albon, Pierre Gasly and Lando Norris rounded out♔ the top ten.

What to expect from this weekend?

Long s🏅traights, high-speed coꦉrners - Spa is expected to favour Mercedes considerably.

Raci𝐆ng Point and Renault tend to go well at low downforce circuits so Red Bull will have to keep an eye on those two teams.

Ferrari typically struggles wh🌜en it comes to straight-line speed so expect Vettel and Charles Leclerc to struggle to get into Q3 come qualifying.

Conditions are expected to be very coo💧l but﷽ dry across Friday and Saturday, although there is some rain forecast on Sunday.

Pirelli hasꦦ nominated the C2, C3 and C4 compound tyres for this race - as it did for the 70th Annivers🌊ary Grand Prix at Silverstone.
