2024 Belgian Grand Prix

The 2024 Belgian Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Rolex Belgian Grand Prix 2024) was a Formula One motor race that took place on 28 July 2024 at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Stavelot, Belgium. It was the fourteenth round of the 2024 Formula One World Championship.

Max Verstappen set the fastest time in qualifying, but was relegated to eleventh following a grid penalty, with Charles Leclerc inheriting pole position in his place. George Russell of Mercedes initially won, but was disqualified after the race because his car failed to meet the minimum weight requirement. Following his teammate's disqualification, Lewis Hamilton inherited the victory, his second of the season and his last for Mercedes before his move to Ferrari and as of 2025 his most recent victory, ahead of Oscar Piastri of McLaren and Charles Leclerc of Ferrari.

Russell became the first Formula One driver to be disqualified from victory in 30 years, after Michael Schumacher was disqualified at the 1994 edition of the event.

The event was held at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Stavelot for the 57th time in the circuit's history, across the weekend of 26–28 July. The Grand Prix was the fourteenth round of the 2024 Formula One World Championship and the 69th running of the Belgian Grand Prix as a round of the Formula One World Championship.

Going into the weekend, Max Verstappen led the Drivers' Championship with 265 points, 76 points ahead of Lando Norris in second, and 103 ahead of Charles Leclerc in third. Red Bull Racing, with 389 points, led the Constructors' Championship from McLaren and Ferrari, who were second and third with 338 and 322 points, respectively.

The drivers and teams were the same as the season entry list with no additional stand-in drivers for the race.

Tyre supplier Pirelli brought the C2, C3, and C4 tyre compounds (the middle three in their range), designated hard, medium, and soft, respectively, for teams to use at the event.

The DRS zone leading in to turn 5 was shortened by 75 metres (246 ft).
