One of Formula 1's most iconic races is just around the corner. Get ready for the Belgian Grand Prix, taking place at Spa-Francorchamps on Sunday.
Heading into the tenth leg of the F1 season, only Mercedes and Ferrari have taken the checkered flag. Those two teams still remain top contenders for the race in Ardennes, with teammates Kimi Antonelli and George Russell leading the Drivers' Championship standings, and Lewis Hamilton close behind.
Ferrari's Charles LeClerc scored his first win two weeks ago at the British Grand Prix, boosting himself above both McLaren drivers with 108 points.
There's no telling what might happen on this track, given its elevation changes and unpredictable conditions. Fans will surely be in for some high-speed action come Sunday.
