Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes won the Belgian Formula 1 Grand Prix at the Spa circuit and, after three tougher events, once again consolidated his lead in the championship. For the Italian driver, this was his sixth win of the season and also another significant step in the fight for the championship title. sport.sk ↗
Antonelli started from Saturday's sixth pole position of the season and in the race beat Charles Leclerc's Ferrari, who finished second. Third place was taken by Max Verstappen in the Red Bull. Already during Friday's second practice, Antonelli showed strong pace, posting the fastest time of 1:45.944 on soft tyres. In the first practice, however, the best time was set by Verstappen, with the Mercedes drivers falling behind. ANSA ↗
For Mercedes, however, the race did not bring only success. Antonelli's teammate George Russell crashed and, according to available information, did not even complete a single full lap. A Hungarian source also pointed to a significant mistake by Lewis Hamilton, after which Antonelli strengthened his position in the title fight even further. BBC News ↗
The result from Belgium confirmed Antonelli's form at the traditional Spa circuit. Leclerc remained the closest rival in the race itself, but the victory gave the championship leader a bigger points gap ahead of the rest of the season. ANSA ↗
