F1 Belgian Grand Prix Qualifying: start time, how to watch, channel

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen led the way in Friday’s second practice, beating title rival Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari by almost nine-tenths of a second.

However, both drivers will have to start the race near the back of the grid for exceeding their power unit allocation for this year.

McLaren’s Lando Norris finished third fastest in practice, albeit a second below Verstappen, while Lance Stroll was an excellent fourth in the Aston Martin.

Fifth place went to Carlos Sainz in the second of the two Ferraris.
