One of the oldest and most iconic races on the Formula 1 calendar, the Belgian Grand Prix has seen some of the sport's most famous names take to the track, creating many memorable moments.
The nature of the track and the weather that accompany it each season make it a spectacle and a great occasion for bettors. We have taken a look at the best ways to bet on the Belgian Grand Prix and how to get the most out of your bets, below.
There are many betting markets available on Formula 1, and we have looked at some of the most popular and explained how each works.
Reserved specifically for qualifying, these bets involve predicting who will come out of qualifying as the fastest. Take a look at the previous qualifying sessions and results from previous weeks, as well as results from previous qualifying at the same circuit, to help you predict who might come out on top in Q3 and secure P1 on the grid.
The most common way to bet on the race, placing Formula One race winner bets, involves bettors backing the driver they think will go on to finish P1. Make sure to do some research before placing your race winner bet. Look at the previous winners of that race or the races leading up to it to get a gauge of what could happen.
A popular Formula One betting market, Podium Finish bets provide three chances of your bet being a success. To place this bet, simply wager an amount on the driver(s) you think will secure a spot on the podium in a given race; this is first, second, or third. If the driver you have bet on finishes in any of the podium places, your bet should be a success.
Placing bets on a top 6 finish involves simply predicting who you think will finish in the top six places of a Formula One grand prix. Place your bets on the driver or the team with markets available for both and get it right for your bet to be a success! It can be worth reviewing the previous top 6 race results and race form when placing this bet.

The Belgian Grand Prix is one of the drivers' most loved circuits on the Formula 1 calendar. It features fast corners and demanding straights, including the famous and thrilling Eau Rouge, arguably one of the most famous sequences of corners in the world.
Spa is usually held in and around the middle of the Formula 1 season. It is the longest track currently on the calendar, despite the circuit being halved in length when it was redeveloped back in 1979!
