The F1 season resumes this weekend after a two-week break following the British Grand Prix, returning with the sole practice session in Belgium.
The reason for that is that Spa is hosting a Sprint weekend, meaning drivers and teams only have 60 minutes of practice before heading into Sprint qualifying later on Friday.
Current predictions are for a mixed weather forecast to throw an additional difficulty into the equation for drivers and teams across the weekend.
Oscar Piastri leads the drivers' championship by eight points from team-mate Lando Norris, with Max Verstappen 69 points behind the Australian as Red Bull enters its first race without Christian Horner at the helm after his sacking.
Ferrari also has a much-vaunted upgrade to its rear suspension, but will that prove beneficial for Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc?
