Formula 1 heads to the iconic Spa-Francorchamps this weekend for Round 10 of the 2026 world championship. The title fight has tightened at the top, with just 25 points separating Kimi Antonelli and George Russell, while Lewis Hamilton is just another seven points behind.
The circuit will also host Formula 2, with India’s Kush Maini looking to continue his progress up the order. Here’s our ultimate guide for when and where to tune in from India.
After his incredible run of five wins in a row, Antonelli’s title charge has taken a big hit due to reliability issues. As a result, his once 66-point lead has now been slashed to just 25 points. Moreover, Ferrari has emerged as a genuine contender, winning two out of the last three races.
Lando Norris, meanwhile, has been handed a 10-place grid penalty for the Belgian GP after McLaren opted to fit a new power electronics unit to his car in a bid to improve recent reliability issues. The team is hopeful that the overtaking opportunities at Spa will help counteract the grid penalty.
