Overview
- Kimi Antonelli passed Charles Leclerc at Les Combes on Lap 34 to win the Belgian Grand Prix and has moved to 204 championship points.
- George Russell was eliminated in a first‑lap collision with Lewis Hamilton, and the stewards gave Hamilton a five‑second time penalty for the incident.
- Lewis Hamilton faces a separate post‑race investigation for an unsafe pit release that struck a mechanic, and his second‑place position in the standings is currently provisional.
- A Virtual Safety Car on Lap 20 let Charles Leclerc pit and briefly emerge in the lead, showing how pit timing and race control calls reshaped the result.
- Mechanical failures and retirements for several contenders, together with pending steward rulings, mean the title picture could still shift before standings are final.
