Spa Weekend | 2026 Belgian GP Preview


Listen Later

Pack your bags... we're going on a Spa Weekend.

No, not the relaxing kind.

This week we're heading to Spa-Francorchamps, one of the most legendary circuits in Formula 1 and a track that drivers consistently rank among their favourites. From the climb through Eau Rouge and Raidillon to the endless Kemmel Straight, Spa rewards bravery, punishes mistakes and somehow manages to have sunshine in one corner and thick fog in another.

Before we even get to Belgium though, we have to address the elephant in the paddock... Silly Season.

Is Max Verstappen really leaving Red Bull? Is Oscar Piastri actually considering a move? Why is Ollie Bearman suddenly being linked with Red Bull? And how many of these rumours will survive until Hungary?

In this episode, Aswathy, Nisha and Kevin break down all the biggest talking points before previewing the Belgian Grand Prix. We revisit why Spa is so special, explain the new Straight-Line Mode zones on the 2026 cars, discuss tyre strategy, weather, championship implications and make our podium predictions.

If you're new to Formula 1, this is the perfect race preview. And if you've been watching for years... you'll probably still learn why Kevin thinks Spa looks like a gun
