F1 Belgian Grand Prix Qualifying Today: Start times, schedule and TV

Formula 1 qualifying takes centre stage at the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix today (Saturday, July 27), with the teams battling for grid positions for Sunday's showdown at Spa-Francorchamps.

Following a three-race winless streak, Max Verstappen will look to win his eighth race of the season on the high-speed Belgian track and extend his championship lead, which he currently holds by 76 points over his closest competitor Lando Norris.

However, a 10-place grid penalty for exceeding the engine allocation limit has thrown a significant spanner in the works for the Dutchman. Despite a history of overcoming such setbacks at Spa - having won from 14th and sixth on the grid in the past two years - Verstappen faces a daunting task to fight his way through the field.

Meanwhile, McLaren and Mercedes, who have been closing the gap to Red Bull in recent races, will be eager to capitalise on the Milton Keynes squad's misfortune and secure a front-row spot heading to Sunday's race.
