F1- Belgian Grand Prix LIVE: Start time, leaderboard and lap-by-lap updates as Red Bull and Max Verstappen look to get back to winning ways despite recent McLaren resurgence

The national anthem of Belgium has just been sung beautifully. Which means we are getting very close to the formation lap and the red lights going out.

Let us know who you think will win the race in the comments

Martin Brundle caught up with Mark Webber, Oscar Piastri's manager, ahead of the race.

It hasn't stopped raining all weekend at Spa and it made for very tricky qualifying conditions.

But there appears to be no threat of rain to speak of today.

The sun is shining and the fans can finally ditch those rain ponchos for some sunglasses.

It is currently around 22 degrees at the race track, perfect conditions for a race.

There's no doubting that it has been a testing season for Sergio Perez, but he has the perfect opoortunity to make an impact today.

Starting second on the grid, if he makes a strong start he will be able to dictate the pace of the race and bring Max Verstappen into play early.

Mind you, given his pace yesterday, I am not sure Verstappen will need any help.

The McLaren ceo Zak Brown has made a habit of going above and beyond to celebrate his drivers' first win in Papya.

He decided to get tattoos to mark Daniel Ricciardo's and Lando Norris' first wins for the constructor.

This week, he has gone for something less permanent as he sports a papaya mohawk wig.

Before we do anything else, let's remind you of the starting grid today.

Max Verstappen was the fastest on track yesterday but he will not be starting the race on pole position.

That distinction goes to Charles Leclerc, who put in a phenomenal lap as the final round of qualifying came to an end.

Full Grid:

Hello and welcome!

It was a tight qualifying yesterday as the rain wreaked havoc with every drivers' laps.

That may not be the case with the sun shining in Spa but we are likely in for another race full of twists and turns
