The start of Formula 1's third triple-h🧸eader of 2020 is upon us. 

The l﷽egendary Spa-Fr෴ancorchamps plays host to this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix.

Eau Rouge, Pouhon, Blanchim🅰ont - Spa-Francorchamps consists of some of the sport’s iconic corners.

Lewis Hamilton heads to Belgium top of the drivers’ championship, ✨37 points clear of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in second.

Valtteri Bottas is in third, on the back of a disappointing run of three races foꦦr the Finn - who celebrated&n✅bsp;his 31st birthday on Friday.

What happened last time out?

It was a comfortable afternoon for the reigning world champion at the&nbsဣp;Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya just under two weeks ago.

Hamilton dom🦋inated proceedings in Spain from pole position as he stormed to his ౠfourth victory of the campaign.

The Mercedes driver had no threat froꦿm behind after making a good start from pole.

Verstappen benefitted from a slow-starting Bottas to finish second behin𒆙d Hamilton yet again, with the second Mercedes eventually f🍬inishing a distant third.

The Racing P🐲oints enjoyed another strong outing - P4 for Stroll; P5 for 𒀰Perez.

Carlos Sainz was sixth at his home rac𝄹e, just ahea🅠d of Sebastian Vettel in seventh.

Alexander Albon, Pierre Gasly and 🎃Lando Norri⛎s rounded out the top ten.

What to expect from this weekend?

Long straights, hig🐲h-speed corners - Spa is expected to favour Mercedes consඣiderably.

Racing Point and Renault tend to go well a📖t low downforce circuits so Red Bull will have to keep an eye 🐷on those two teams.

Ferrariꦗ typically struggles when it comes to straight-line speed so expec🗹t Vettel and Charles Leclerc to struggle to get into Q3 come qualifying.

Conditions are expected to be very cool but dry across Friday and Saturday, although there is some rain fo﷽recast on Sunday.

Pirelli has nominated the C2, C3 and C4 compound tyres for this race - as it did for the 70th An🌸niversary Grand Prix at Silverstone.
