- British driver made just one pit stop at Spa
- Lewis Hamilton second; Oscar Piastri third
George Russell won the Belgian Grand Prix, pulling off a surprise victory for Mercedes at Spa Francorchamps after a thrilling and impossibly tense battle with his teammate, Lewis Hamilton, who was second, completing a Mercedes one-two.
Russell did so having made a bold call to try a one-stop strategy, which paid off against the odds. Oscar Piastri was third for McLaren and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc in fourth. Max Verstappen managed to come back from 11th on the grid to claim fifth for Red Bull and crucially beat his championship rival Lando Norris into sixth.
