The second half of the 2021 Formula 1 World Championship kicks off this weekend, with a trip to the fearsome Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium marking the 12th race of the year.
It's a traditional circuit on the calendar, and it's the traditional weekend format too. Media duties for the drivers and teams will take place on Thursday, before two hours of practice time on Friday spread out over the morning and afternoon. These hour-long sessions will allow the drivers to get back to grips with their cars after more than three weeks without any driving.
There will be another hour-long practice session on Saturday morning, before qualifying takes place on Saturday afternoon.
Then, on Sunday, the Belgian Grand Prix will be held in the afternoon.
RacingNews365.com will be on hand to cover all of the action and you can find our live blog here. We will also have exclusive interviews, news and analysis throughout the entire weekend in Belgium.
