Belgian Grand Prix

Friday, 17 July 2026 · Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Stavelot · 🇧🇪 Belgium

The Belgian Grand Prix is a classic on the Formula 1 calendar, staged as the tenth race of the 2026 season. Built in 1921 and nestled in the Belgian Ardennes, the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps ranks among Formula 1's oldest and most established venues, part of the world championship since 1950. With a length of 7.0004 km, the track is currently the longest on the Formula 1 racing calendar. Its atypical layout combines slow and fast corners, hairpins negotiated at 70 km/h, significant elevation changes following the surrounding terrain, and long straights where speeds exceed 320 km/h. The Ardennes region experiences the most rainy days in Belgium, adding to the circuit's challenging character.
