The 2020 Belgian Grand Prix (officially the Formula 1 Rolex Belgian Grand Prix 2020) was the 7th round of the 2020 Formula One Season and the 64th Belgian Grand Prix overall. It was held from 28th to 30th August 2020.


Background[]

In the previous race at Barcelona, Lewis Hamilton won ahead of Max Verstappen and Valtteri Bottas, extending his championship lead to 37 points. Mercedes also extended their constructors' championship lead to 86 points.

Following a lengthy negotiation, all ten teams signed the Concorde Agreement on August 19.

On August 21, the Williams team has been sold to private US investment firm named Dorilton Capital, the firm stating in a statement that they recognize "the importance of respecting and retaining Williams’ heritage", and that there are no plans to relocate its base at Grove.

It was also announced on August 25 that the final four races of the 2020 Formula One Season has been announced, including the return of the Turkish Grand Prix, where F1 last raced at Istanbul Park in 2011.

The build-up to the race weekend was also overshadowed by the death of Formula 2 driver Anthoine Hubert in last year's event. The Renault junior driver was involved in a high-speed collision in the Feature Race and was pronounced dead later, with Charles Leclerc taking an emotional maiden victory the following day. A tribute to Hubert is expected before the F3, F2 and F1 races, with a special logo created and to be featured on all F1, F2 and F3 cars.
