Formula 1’s kickoff to the second portion of the 2017 season, the Belgian Grand Prix, is always one of the highlight races in the championship, and can be seen live on NBCSN and the NBC Sports app from 7 a.m. ET.

Pre-race coverage runs for an hour from 7 a.m. ET through to 8 a.m. ET, with lights out at that point.
Lewis Hamilton made history on Saturday in Belgium by taking a record-equalling 68th career pole position, tying with Michael Schumacher at the top of the all-time list.
Hamilton edged out F1 title rival Sebastian Vettel by two-tenths of a second on Saturday, leaving the championship protagonists side-by-side for the start.
Vettel leads Hamilton by 14 points, 202 to 188, heading into today’s race. In third lies Bottas with 169.
There have been five winners in the last five Belgian Grands Prix, with Nico Rosberg winning last year, Hamilton in 2015, Daniel Ricciardo in 2014, Vettel in 2013 and Jenson Button in 2012.
We know at least two of those five can’t add their name to that list this year. Vettel will look to become the first driver with back-to-back wins this season while Hamilton or Bottas will look to reassert Mercedes back ahead of Ferrari on a power track.
And with the threat of rain seemingly perpetually looming around the Ardennes forest, the weather can change on a dime at the four-plus mile circuit, the longest on the calendar.
