Summary

After an 80 minute rain delay and a brief spell on the Intermediates, it was Oscar Piastri that beat Lando Norris at the 2025 Belgian Grand Prix, and pushed the Australian's lead at the top of the Championship to 16 points. Stuart Codling sits down with Haydn Cobb and Ronald Vording to break down where it went wrong for Norris, the polarising weekends of the Red Bull drivers in their first weekend under Laurent Meikes' control, and the struggles of Mercedes' rookie Kimi Antonelli. There's also a look ahead to this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix, at the newly revamped Hungaroring. Are McLaren set to keep their dominant advantage on the field? Learn more about your ad choices.
