- Dutchman extends title lead after eighth straight victory
- Sergio Pérez finishes second with Charles Leclerc third
Max Verstappen won the Belgian Grand Prix with another dominant drive from sixth place on the grid. Once he had made up the places and taken the lead from his Red Bull teammate Sergio Pérez who was second, Verstappen delivered a controlled drive form the front where he was entirely unopposed. Charles Leclerc was third for Ferrari, Lewis Hamilton fourth for Mercedes and Fernando Alonso fifth for Aston Martin.
Verstappen was in a class of his own once more at Spa-Francorchamps. With this the final round before the sport’s summer break and with ten meetings remaining, the question is just how soon will Verstappen tie up his third consecutive championship. He now leads Pérez by 125 points.
