As a result, only one free practice is held at Spa-Francorchamps. Traditionally, there is also a chance of (some) rain every day, although most precipitation seems to fall earlier in the week.
Last year Lewis Hamilton won his last race as a Mercedes driver, after teammate George Russell was disqualified afterwards because his car did not pass the inspection. Max Verstappen was by far the fastest in the qualification on his beloved circuit, but then had ten places back on the grid because of a motor change and finally finished fourth.
