How to follow Belgian Grand Prix on the BBC

Round 10 of the 2026 Formula 1 season heads to Spa-Francorchamps for the Belgian Grand Prix, from 17-19 July.

Kimi Antonelli’s lead at the top of the drivers’ championship over Mercedes team-mate George Russell has been narrowed to 25 points after he failed to score points in the main race at the British Grand Prix.

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc won the race at Silverstone ahead of Russell and his Scuderia team-mate Lewis Hamilton.

Sunday’s 44-lap race at Spa starts at 14:00 BST.

Commentary of the race weekend will be available across BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra, Sports Extra 2, BBC Sounds and the BBC Sport website and app.

You can also listen by asking most smart speakers to “play Sports Extra” or “play Sports Extra 2”.

Make sure to listen to every episode of the Chequered Flag podcast. For the first time this year, the post-race show for every grand prix is available to watch on BBC iPlayer and YouTube., external
