Set at the legendary 7.004km Spa-Francorchamps—featuring Eau Rouge’s 4.5G compression and Kemmel Straight’s 350km/h speeds—this race is pivotal for championship contenders. Oscar Piastri (McLaren) leads the standings by 8 points over teammate Lando Norris, whose recent form threatens Piastri’s position. Red Bull debuts under new leadership after Christian Horner’s departure, while Ferrari tests a critical rear-suspension upgrade to optimize high-speed cornering. Unpredictable Ardennes weather (35% rain risk) could reshuffle strategies, amplifying Spa’s reputation as F1’s ultimate test of skill and nerve.
