The Formula 1 calendar is approaching the Belgian Grand Prix, one of the most iconic races of the season. Alongside the battle for points and podium finishes, an interesting statistical shift could take place at Spa-Francorchamps this year.
Max Verstappen, who has reached several impressive milestones in recent seasons, could lose a specific Formula 1 record in Belgium. This achievement currently stands in his name in the sport's history books.
The driver potentially taking this record from him is seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton. Such an addition would further bolster his already extensive list of Formula 1 achievements.
Although both star drivers will undoubtedly focus on the race win and the championship, such a shift in the record books adds an extra dimension to the battle at Spa-Francorchamps.
