Oscar Piastri now leads the F1 drivers' championship by 16 points
after defeating team-mate Lando Norris in a heavily delayed Belgian
Grand Prix. Suspended after the formation lap was run behind the
safety car for over one-and-a-half hours due to rain, Piastri
stormed past his team-mate on the first green flag on the run to
Les Combes. After the field switched to slicks, Piastri took on
the mediums, whilst Norris opted for hards, setting up a thrilling
finish, on paper, as doubts emerged about the medium's ability to
last the distance. However, mistakes from Norris in his charge
meant he felt 3.415s short by the flag, as Charles Leclerc was
third for Ferrari. It means Piastri moves to 266 points to
Norris's 250 as Max Verstappen was fourth and further cements third
in the drivers' standings. The maximum haul further cements
McLaren's lead at the top of the constructors' on 516 points, with
Ferrari now on 248 in second. Elsewhere, Liam Lawson's eighth
place finish moves Racing Bulls closer to Stake for sixth in the
standings, just two points between the two teams. Check out the
full 2025 F1 drivers' and constructors' standings after the Belgian
GP below!
