The 2025 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa‑Francorchamps unfolds as a sprint weekend, meaning there’s just one scheduled free practice session on Friday, July 25, at 12:30 PM local time (UTC+2) . This condensed format significantly heightens pressure: teams must nail setups within limited running before sprint qualifying later that day. This return of the sprint format intensifies competition and amplifies the consequences of every lap completed.
