The exciting Formula 1 2024 season embarks on another European adventure as we build up to the Belgian Grand Prix this weekend.
Last weekend in Hungary, McLaren driver Oscar Piastri claimed his first ever victory, with Max Verstappen having to settle for fifth spot.
Can the Dutchman and Red Bull turn it around in Belgium, the last race before the summer break?
We will have to wait and see but 777 Sport have previewed the upcoming race, with the latest odds and tips – and Bet777 is the place to be for betting on Formula!
Belgian Grand Prix Preview
While Verstappen and Red Bull sit top of both the drivers and constructors standings, they will be concerned about recent form.
Verstappen’s last race win came at the Spanish Grand Prix in late June, a significant drought by the three-time world champion’s lofty standards.
The Dutchman finished fifth in Austria and then had to settle for the silver medal at Silverstone as Lewis Hamilton claimed a shock victory on home soil.
But it is McLaren who will be giving Verstappen and Red Bull sleepless nights leading up to the race in Belgium.
Piastri’s first-place finish in Hungary was accompanied by a runner-up spot for team-mate Lando Norris, which earned him his eighth spot on the podium this season.
The McLaren pair will each feel confident of repeat performances at Spa this weekend, a track renowned as a favourite with all the drivers.
However, the length of the track and the changeable weather conditions also make this a very unpredictable race, with driving drama of the highest order pretty much guaranteed.
But if McLaren dominate once again, they will feel confident of chasing down Red Bull, who saw Verstappen and Sergio Perez finish one and two in last year’s Belgian Grand Prix in what was a display of awesome power.
Will history repeat itself, or is the tide turning in Formula One?
