Revision as of 05:51, 1 November 2018

The 2015 Belgian Grand Prix (officially the 2015 Formula 1 Shell Belgian Grand Prix)[1] was the 11th race of the 2015 Formula One season. It was the 70th Belgian Grand Prix – the 59th as a round of the Formula One World Championship. It was held between 21 August and 23 August 2015.


Background

Lewis Hamilton leads the championship by 21 points ahead of this race. Nico Rosberg sits second with Sebastian Vettel third. Between them, these three drivers have won all ten races this season.

With nine pole positions so far this season, Hamilton will win the 2015 Pole Position Trophy if he secures pole here.

Soft and medium dry-weather tyres will be used for the event.[2]

After retiring from the previous race, Kimi Räikkönen was confirmed by Ferrari on 19 August to be one of their seats for 2016.[3] It is also Ferrari's 900th Grand Prix.[4]

Jolyon Palmer competed in the first practice session of the Grand Prix.[5]
