F1 Belgian Grand Prix qualifying – Start time, how to watch, channel
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen led Friday’s second practice session, topping title rival Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari by nearly nine-tenths of a second.
However, both drivers have to start the race near the end of the grid because they have exceeded their allotted drive unit for that year.
McLaren’s Lando Norris was third fastest in practice, albeit a second behind Verstappen, while Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll finished fourth.
Fifth place went to Carlos Sainz in the second of the two Ferraris.
