After a brief recess, the excitement returns with the Belgian Grand Prix, an event that promises adrenaline and surprises at the iconic Spa-Francorchamps circuit. In Alofoke Deportes we bring you all the details so you don&#8217;t miss anything.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Season Review<\/h2>\n\n\nThe beginning of July left us with memorable moments. Lando Norris took the victory in his home race, the British Grand Prix. In addition, Nico H\u00fclkenberg achieved his first podium in Formula 1 in a race marked by rain at Silverstone.\n\nThis race marked the halfway point of the season, where Oscar Piastri&#8217;s lead over Norris has been significantly reduced, but McLaren still maintains a strong dominance in both championships.\n\n<h2>Spa-Francorchamps: An F1 Classic<\/h2>\n\nThe Spa circuit is one of the most iconic in Formula 1, highly appreciated by drivers and fans. It was part of the inaugural F1 season in 1950.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0723%2Fr1522504_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Stirling Moss en su Maserati 250F en 1954. El Gran Premio de B\u00e9lgica en Spa es una de las carreras originales del campeonato de F\u00f3rmula 1.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\nThe original 1921 circuit measured 14.9 km and used public roads. In 1979, it was redesigned, shortened to 7 km, which is still the longest circuit on the F1 calendar. Spa, with its mountainous and wooded surroundings, offers elevation changes, overtaking opportunities, and unpredictable weather.\n\nThe Eau Rouge and Raidillon curves stand out, considered among the most difficult and exciting in F1.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Belgian Grand Prix: Key Facts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>First F1 race:<\/strong> 1950<\/li><li><strong>Laps:<\/strong> 44 laps of the 7 km circuit, totaling 308 km<\/li><li><strong>Lap record:<\/strong> 1:44.701, Sergio P\u00e9rez (2024)<\/li><li><strong>Most wins:<\/strong> Michael Schumacher with six (1992, 1995-1997, 2001-2002)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;Spa is probably the best circuit in the world, and every lap you do here is magical.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Fernando Alonso<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe most spectacular viewpoints for spectators are Eau Rouge and Raidillon, where the cars reach their maximum speed. Fun fact: Max Verstappen was born in Belgium, making Spa-Francorchamps his home race. No Belgian driver has won the Belgian Grand Prix, not counting Verstappen.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a1.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2024%2F0729%2Fr1365023_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Mercedes se llev\u00f3 el uno-dos, antes de que el ganador George Russell fuera descalificado.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happened Last Year?<\/h2>\n\n\nLast year, Mercedes achieved a 1-2, led by George Russell, who was disqualified. Lewis Hamilton inherited the victory.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\nIt&#8217;s hard to bet against McLaren right now. Norris has shown a great performance recently, but Piastri remains strong and is our bet to take the victory this weekend.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a1.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0723%2Fr1522505_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"McLaren mantiene un fuerte dominio en ambos campeonatos de cara a la ronda 13 de 24.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Championship Status<\/h2>\n\n\nPiastri&#8217;s lead in the drivers&#8217; championship has been reduced to eight points over his teammate Norris. McLaren leads the constructors&#8217; championship with 460 points, 238 ahead of Ferrari.\n\nFollow the coverage of the Belgian Grand Prix on Alofoke Deportes so you don&#8217;t miss any details of this exciting race!","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Attention Formula 1 fanatics!
