Watch the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix live streams to find out whether George Russell can further close the gap to his teammate in the penultimate race before the summer break.
After winning five races in a row and building a commanding lead in the drivers' standings, Antonelli has been hampered by reliability issues in two of the last three races, costing him at least a podium in Barcelona and what looked like a certain victory at Silverstone. The difference between him and Russell is now just 25 points.
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc climbed to the top step of the podium for the first time since 2024, making it two wins from the last three races for the Scuderia. Lewis Hamilton is also just seven points behind George Russell in the standings, and with Spa's mix of high- and medium-speed corners expected to suit Ferrari, the Italian team will be hoping for another strong weekend.
Alongside Mercedes and Ferrari, McLaren are also expected to introduce upgrades, which they’re in desperate need of. Despite showing impressive pace in qualifying over the past few races, they haven't converted it into race results, with Lando Norris's third place in Barcelona their only podium in recent outings. To make matters worse the Englishman will have a 10-place grid penalty after using too many engine parts.
The biggest talking point heading into Belgium, though, surrounds Red Bull and Max Verstappen. A rear-wing issue in Britain caused a crash and cost Verstappen a podium, after a similar problem ruined his Q3 in Austria. There were already reports of Verstappen being unhappy with Red Bull before Silverstone, with rumors now suggesting he could consider a move away, potentially to McLaren.
