Previous race
Sebastian Vettel won the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa from Alonso and Lewis Hamilton, who had started from pole. Kimi Räikkönen retired — his first non-finish since returning to Formula One at the 2012 Australian Grand Prix, ending a run of 27 consecutive points finishes that had begun at the 2012 Bahrain Grand Prix.
Between-race developments
Red Bull has confirmed that Daniel Ricciardo will join Sebastian Vettel at the team for the 2014 season, taking over from Mark Webber. Webber’s final season with the team is now confirmed; he will move to the Porsche sportscar programme.
Tyre choices
Pirelli brings the hard (prime) and medium (option) compounds — the same allocation as the 2012 Italian Grand Prix and the hardest pairing of the season.
