Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix 2019 (Live Stream)

As the Formula 1 circus returns from its 2019 summer break, the big news heading to Belgium this weekend is the change around at Red Bull.

Over the four week break following the Hungarian Grand Prix, Red Bull has announced that Toro Rosso rookie Alexander Albon will be bumped up to the main squad to drive alongside Max Verstappen, while Pierre Gasly will return to the junior team beside Daniil Kvyat.

Rumour Season Started

Rumours had begun early in the season that Gasly could move, after struggling to match Verstappen’s form, with both Toro Rosso drivers having been mentioned in connection with that seat.

Elsewhere, the 2020 driver market rumour-mill has been spinning, with Mercedes-contracted youngster Esteban Ocon surrounding much of the silly season gossip.

The former Force India and Manor driver has been linked with Valtteri Bottas’ seat at the main Mercedes team for next year, and in the last week it has been reported in French publication Auto Hebdo that he will replace Nico Hulkenberg at Renault.

The fairytale return of Robert Kubica to F1 with Williams this year appears to be turning sour however, as reports increasingly suggest he will leave the team at the end of the year amid a tricky return to the sport.

On track, Mercedes continues to storm ahead at the top of both the Constructors’ and driver standings (with Lewis Hamilton), although Red Bull’s Max Verstappen has provided the strongest opposition to the Silver Arrows as Ferrari has yet to score a win compared to the Dutch hotshot’s two victories.

The midfield battle remains tight, although a resurgent McLaren appears to be enjoying the advantage of late.

This weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix marks the start of the final two European rounds in a back-to-back weekend with the Italian Grand Prix at Monza.
