2025 Belgian Grand Prix
The 2025 Belgian Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Moët & Chandon Belgian Grand Prix 2025) was a Formula One motor race that took place on 27 July 2025 at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Stavelot, Belgium. It was the thirteenth round of the 2025 Formula One World Championship and the third of six Grands Prix in the season to utilise the sprint format.
Oscar Piastri of McLaren took pole position for the sprint, but lost out to Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing for the victory. Piastri's teammate Lando Norris took pole position for the main race. During the race itself, which was delayed following heavy rain, Piastri overtook his teammate and held the lead to win the Grand Prix. This was the first win of the Belgian Grand Prix for a McLaren driver since Jenson Button won the race in 2012.
The event was held at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Stavelot for the 58th time in the circuit's history, across the weekend of 25–27 July. The Grand Prix was the thirteenth round of the 2025 Formula One World Championship and the 70th running of the Belgian Grand Prix as a round of the Formula One World Championship. It was also the third of six Grands Prix in the season to utilise the sprint format and the second time overall that the Belgian Grand Prix featured it.
Going into the weekend, Oscar Piastri led the Drivers' Championship with 234 points, eight points ahead of his teammate Lando Norris in second, and 69 ahead of Max Verstappen in third. McLaren, with 460 points, led the Constructors' Championship from Ferrari and Mercedes, who were second and third with 222 and 210 points, respectively.
The drivers and teams were the same as published in the season entry list with two exceptions; Yuki Tsunoda at Red Bull Racing was in the seat originally held by Liam Lawson before the latter was demoted back to Racing Bulls from the Japanese Grand Prix onward, and Franco Colapinto replaced Jack Doohan at Alpine from the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix onward until at least the Austrian Grand Prix on a rotating seat basis. Before the race at Spielberg, it was confirmed that Colapinto would retain his seat with the team, effectively on a race-by-race basis.
The Grand Prix marked the first race without Christian Horner as team principal of Red Bull Racing as he was sacked three days after the preceding British Grand Prix. He was replaced by Laurent Mekies, who left his role as team principal of Racing Bulls from this Grand Prix onward; his position at Racing Bulls was filled by Alan Permane.
Tyre supplier Pirelli brought the C1, C3, and C4 tyre compounds (designated hard, medium, and soft, respectively) for teams to use at the event.
The sole free practice session was held on 25 July 2025, at 12:30 local time (UTC+2), and was topped by Oscar Piastri of McLaren ahead of Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing and Piastri's teammate Lando Norris.
