Oscar Piastri emphatically clinched pole for the sprint at the
Belgian Grand Prix, setting a lap time of 1:40.510 at
Spa-Francorchamps, a new lap record. That was just under a stunning
five-tenths clear of Max Verstappen in second, with Lando Norris
completing the top three in the first grid-setting session of the
weekend. Charles Leclerc and Esteban Ocon were fourth and
fifth-quickest, respectively. Lewis Hamilton headlined a host of
big names who found themselves eliminated in SQ1, alongside Kimi
Antonelli and Silverstone podium-sitter Nico Hulkenberg. Mercedes'
difficult day continued in SQ2, with George Russell only managing
to go P13, failing to make it through to the final part of sprint
qualifying. Check out the full results from sprint qualifying at
