Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel will be keen to record his maiden win of the 2020 season at the Belgian Grand Prix title on August 30.
 
The German driver has enjoyed some success in this race over the years having won it in 2011, 2013 and 2018.

Mercedes duo of Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas finished second, and third respectively in an enthralling race. 
 
Vettel finished seventh in the latest race in the 2020 season which was the Spanish Grand Prix on August 16 with Hamilton walking away victoriously.
 
Reigning Formula One world champion Hamilton is placed at the top of this year's Drivers' Championship standings followed by Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Bottas respectively.

The 33-year-old driver reflected on his performances at the Spanish Grand Prix and he admitted that Ferrari's strategy left him somewhat confused during the race.
 
"Mixed, to be honest, it's still up and down," said Vettel, when asked for his thoughts on the weekend as a whole on Express. 
 
"Some sessions feel better than others. The first stint was quite poor. The second stint, I felt much more in control of the car. Still, I think, some work to do on my side.
 
"I said we'd try to make it. The last five laps were really, really difficult. It helped that we got lapped, to be honest. Not always the case, but today it was," he added.
 
"We took that risk because we had nothing to lose and it did pay off. It wasn't the plan before the race to do close to 40 laps on the soft tyre."
 
Mercedes are placed at the top of Constructors' standings followed by second-placed Red Bull and third-placed Racing Point-BWT Mercedes.
