How to watch Belgian Grand Prix 2025 online: live stream F1 race from anywhere
Exactly halfway through the 2025 season, just 12 points separate Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris at the top of the drivers' standings. With reigning champion Max Verstappen a further 61 points back, it's looking likely that McLaren will finally bring an end to their 17-year wait for a championship — but will it be an Australian or a Brit who brings it home?
The Grand Prix weekend at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps sees the third Sprint contest of the year, which gives Norris another opportunity to make up points on his teammate. He took first place and eight points at the last one in Miami. Piastri, however, has finished second both times, which he'd probably be happy to replicate in Belgium on Saturday.

Lights out for the start of the 2025 Belgian Grand Prix is set for 3 p.m. local time at Spa-Francorchamps on Sunday, July 27. Here are the 2025 Belgium Grand Prix start times in Europe, India, South Africa and other worldwide locations:
So, that's how to watch the Belgian Grand Prix and all the race timings sorted. Now here's some F1 Belgium GP FAQs for everything else you want to know about the upcoming race.
The 2025 Belgian Grand Prix takes place over 44 laps of the 7.004-kilometre Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps on Sunday, July 27.
A hit with drivers and fans alike, the Grand Prix weekend at the Spa circuit is a bucket list item for any petrolhead. It combines rolling hills with huge high-speed straights that have left many an F1 engine smouldering.
Having hosted a (non-championship) Grand Prix as long ago as 1924, Spa is one of the oldest races on the F1 calendar. It's an unashamedly 'old school' track that looks picturesque to those watching on TV — but it can be deadly for drivers and cars.
The mix of challenging straights and whip-fast corners suits drivers at the peak of their powers. Keep an eye on the Eau Rouge, the thrilling sequence of bends that sees the drivers flick left, right and then up the hill through Raidillon.
The next Formula 1 race after the Belgian GP is the Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaroring near Budapest. It takes place in one week on Sunday, August 3.
Lewis Hamilton, then of Mercedes, was ultimately the official winner of the Belgian Grand Prix last year — one of only two wins for the seven-time world champion in 2024. Fellow Brit George Russell actually took the chequered flag first, but was eventually disqualified after his car failed to meet the minimum weight requirement. Oscar Piastri and Charles Leclerc completed the podium.
Sergio Pérez holds the official lap record at Spa. Driving in the Red Bull, he posted a time of 1:44.701 at the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton holds the unofficial lap record with a time of 1:41.252, set in 2020.
Michael Schumacher won the Belgian Grand Prix six times and Ayrton Senna won five times, including four consecutively from 1988 to 1991. Lewis Hamilton's controversial victory in 2024 took him to five also, while Jim Clark and Kimi Raikkonen have four victories apiece.

Gakpo has high expectations for Frimpong at Liverpool
Speaking in an interview with Sky Sports, Cody Gakpo revealed high expectations for fellow Dutchman Jeremie Frimpong at Liverpool. Liverpool paid £29.6 million to Bayer Leverkusen for Frimpong this summer. As Voetbal International reflect, the transfer was already being joked about within the Dutch national team. 'Of course, we talked a lot, because we also played against Leverkusen in the Champions League,' said Gakpo. 'We talked about it during the international break. And he told us it was a fantastic club.' He continued, 'Of course, we didn't know what his plans were, but when we heard the club wanted to sign him, Virgil van Dijk spoke to him. He's a great guy, and I think everyone will like him. He's very professional, but also a really nice guy in the dressing room. So that won't be a problem. 'He's incredibly fast, he's really very fast. I think we'll enjoy him a lot. We'll help him, and the manager (Arne Slot) will too.' At Bayer Leverkusen, Frimpong made a great impression over five seasons following his move from Celtic. In 190 games across all competitions, the man adept going forward and at wing-back, scored 30 goals and assisted 38. GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield

Hulu Will Go Global and Fully Merge With Disney Plus
More than a year after launching its "Hulu on Disney Plus experience" in the US, Disney announced plans to integrate Hulu into the Disney Plus streaming service. Additionally, Hulu will become available internationally once the merge happens next year, the company shared with its third-quarter earnings report on Wednesday. The Hulu tile was added to Disney Plus in March 2024, allowing subscribers who have both services to watch Hulu content within the Disney Plus app. The Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Iger said today that this fall, the Hulu tile will replace the Star tile on the service for international customers. He added that the new offering will give customers more choice and convenience. "Over the coming months, we will be implementing improvements within the Disney Plus app, including exciting new features and a more personalized homepage, all of which will culminate with the unified Disney Plus and Hulu streaming app experience that will be available to consumers next year," said Iger. Disney Plus viewers can watch titles from brands like Disney and Marvel, a suite of live channels that includes ABC News and The Simpsons, and if they're subscribed to Hulu and/or ESPN, a selection of content from both services. According to an executive summary shared ahead of Wednesday's earnings call, the merged version of the streaming app will offer "family programming, news, and industry-leading live sports content." Though Iger did not explicitly state whether Hulu will be phased out completely, he mentioned that the merge will result in "efficiencies when these are together. It will be on one tech stack, as for instance, one tech platform." He hinted that the Hulu and Disney combo may result in new -- or more -- bundles for customers. "I imagine down the road, it may give us some price elasticity as well that we haven't had before," said Iger. "And it also provides us with a tremendous bundling experience because when you have the one app that has a significant amount of all of the Disney and the other Disney branded programming with the general entertainment programming bundled, for instance, with the ESPN direct-to-consumer app." The media giant's new standalone sports streaming service -- dubbed ESPN -- will replace ESPN Plus and launch on Aug. 21 (rather than the fall) and be included in current Disney Bundle offerings with pricing that starts at $36 a month to watch with ads. Once the Hulu and Disney Plus merge happens next year, customers may see new streaming packages from the company.
