Mercedes look to tighten title grip as F1 heads to Belgian GP

The 2026 Formula One season heads to the historic Belgian Grand Prix at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, a challenging track known for its high-speed corners, elevation changes, and unpredictable weather. Mercedes aims to solidify its lead in both the drivers' and constructors' championships, led by Kimi Antonelli, who has performed exceptionally well this season. Ferrari remains the main rival, with Lewis Hamilton securing a win and Charles Leclerc accumulating consistent points. McLaren and Red Bull are also in contention but face pressure to close the gap. The race will take place over 44 laps, covering 308 kilometers, with qualifying set for Saturday and the race starting on Sunday.
