You can watch the 2025 Belgian Grand Prix live on ORF On, which is showing all of the action from Spa-Francorchamps for free!
The one catch? Commentary is in German. If you’re fluent in the language, great, if you’re not, don’t worry too much because it’s the cars you’re interested in, not people talking about them.
McLaren’s second one-two finish in a row last time out at the British Grand Prix, with Lando Norris taking the chequered flag and Oscar Piastri in second, has cemented the British team’s spot yet further at the top of Constructors’ standings but only served to main the Drivers’ championship even more tantilizing. A harsh penalty did for Piastri at Silverstone when leading and the team-mates don’t always see eye to eye.
Elsewhere, will Max Verstappen find some form after Red Bull team principal Christian Horner’s recent sacking? And is now the time for Lewis Hamilton to finally shine in the Ferrari. Remember, there’s a Sprint race in Spa, so don’t miss the Saturday action, as well as Sunday’s Grand Prix itself.
