From August 30 to September 1, the 2019 Formula 1 Belgian GP is run: here’s how to follow the race in free streaming and on TV
In the weekend between August 30 and September 1, the Formula 1 Belgian GP is run on the historic track of Spa Francorchamps, one of the most beloved by drivers and fans. With over 7 kilometers, it is the longest track on the Formula 1 calendar. And also the most fun (along with the Monza circuit).
After the summer break, Formula 1 is back. The last races of the season will only serve to make official what is now clear to everyone: Lewis Hamilton will win for the sixth time the Formula 1 World Championship. In this season, Mercedes has been superior on almost all circuits. In those few cases when it had problems, Ferrari was not able to take advantage of them and still does not win a single race in 2019. The Belgian GP could be the good opportunity: the track suits the characteristics of the red car, as shown by the first free practice, where the Ferraris dominated. The Reds proved to be the best on the dry lap, while the Silver Arrows were the fastest on the race pace.
The 2019 Formula 1 Belgian GP is a Sky exclusive that will broadcast the race on SkySport Formula 1 (channel 207). The race will also be aired on digital terrestrial channel TV8, but only on a deferred basis. Fans will also be able to watch the race weekend in streaming on SkyGo and on TV8’s website.
