Formula 1, Max Verstappen wins at the Belgian GP with a practically perfect race, with his Red Bull. A masterpiece race, the Dutch driver started from 14th on the grid due to the replacement of the power unit, but 12 laps were enough to recover.
He then concluded the race by winning with a substantial advantage over his teammate Sergio Perez; third place for the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz who started on pole but was unable to "block" the Red Bull comeback. In 4th position was the Mercedes of George Russell ahead of the Alpine of Alonso and the other Ferrari of Charles Leclerc (also starting fifteenth on the grid).
Leclerc was forced to pit after 4 laps, which then affected his comeback. The Monegasque, fifth in the race, was penalized by 5″ for exceeding the speed limit on the pit line, slipping to sixth place. Next up were the Alpines of Alonso and Ocon, then Vettel, Gasly and Albon.
