The start of Formula 1's third triple-header of 20༒20 is upon us.
The legendary Spa-Fꦇrancorch⛄amps plays host to this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix.
Eau Rouge, Pouhon, Blanchi﷽mont♔ - Spa-Francorchamps consists of some of the sport’s iconic corners.
Lewis Hamilton heads to Belg🎃ium top of the🥂 drivers’ championship, 37 points clear of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in second.
Valꦆtteri Bottas is in third, on the back of a disappointing run of three races for the Finn - who celebrates his 31st birthday on Friday.
What happened last time out?
It was a comfortable afternoon forꦫ th♚e reigning world champion at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya just under two weeks ago.
Hamilton dominated proceedജings in Spain from pole position as he stormed to his fourth victory of the campaign.
The M⭕ercedes driver had no threat from b🌠ehind after making a good start from pole.
Verstappen benefitted from a slow-starting Bo🎶ttas to finish second behind Hamilton yet again, with the second Mercedes eventually finishing a distant third.
The Racing Points enjoyed♎ another strong outing - P4 for Stroll; P5 fo🌺r Perez.
Carlos Sainz was sixth at his✅ home race, just ahea𓃲d of Sebastian Vettel in seventh.
Alexander Albon💝, Pierre Gasly and Lando🌞 Norris rounded out the top ten.
What to expect from this weekend?
Long straights, high-speed corne🍸rs - Spa is expected to favour Mercedes considerably.
Racing Point and Renault tend to go well at low down🍨force circu꧅its so Red Bull will have to keep an eye on those two teams.
Ferrariꦓ typically struggles when 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 cool but dry across Friday and💎 Saturday, although there is some rain forecast on Sunday.
Pirelli has🔯 nominated the C2, C3 and C4 compound tyres for this race - as it did for the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix at Silverstone.
