Formula 1: 2024 Belgian Grand Prix qualifying updates, full starting lineup
By Asher Fair
Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix is the 14th race on a record-breaking 24-race 2024 Formula 1 schedule, and it is the final race before the annual four-week summer break.
This 44-lap race around the 19-turn, 4.352-mile (7.004-kilometer) Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps road course in Stavelot, Belgium, which is the longest track on the Formula 1 calendar, has been won by the eventual world champion in each of the last four years.
Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton won it in 2020, and Red Bull's Max Verstappen has won it every year since. His 2021 win stemmed from the fact that he qualified on pole, as the race was simply a parade behind the safety car in wet conditions. As such, half points were awarded.
With Verstappen's 2022 and 2023 wins at Spa having coming from 14th and sixth place in the grid, respectively, the lowest winning starting spots at the track in nearly two decades, no driver has actually won a full-length Belgian Grand Prix from pole since Hamilton won it four years ago.
Prior to Verstappen's drive from 14th to first place in 2022, which made him the first driver since Bruce McLaren to win back-to-back Formula 1 races from a double digit starting spot, six of the seven most recent races at Spa had been won from the pole position, and the other one was still won from the front row.
