Lewis Hamilton might consider the best way to return from a four-week Formula One mid-season break is with qualifying at the Belgian Grand Prix.

The defending F1 champion and season leader has an outstanding record on Saturdays at Spa, where another pole position could contribute to him tying a long-standing record this week.

Mercedes, Hamilton's team, also has a milestone in its sights as its rival looks to belatedly hit back in the second part of the campaign.

With the help of Opta, we take a look at the key numbers heading into the Belgian GP.
