F1 Belgian Grand Prix LIVE!
A fascinating race awaits Formula One fans today with a shaken-up grid set at Spa-Francorchamps after a glut of grid penalties knocked Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc down the order.
Verstappen was comfortably quickest in qualifying on Saturday but Carlos Sainz starts on pole position with the championship leader 14th and ahead of his F1 title rival, Leclerc, in 15th place. Sainz will have Sergio Perez for company on the front row with Fernando Alonso clocking a surprise third in his Alpine.
Lewis Hamilton and George Russell endured a tough session to start only fourth and fifth, respectively, in what may go down as a huge missed opportunity for Mercedes as they target a first race win of the 2022 campaign. Catching Ferrari in the Constructors’ Championship is still a possibility for the Mercs but Hamilton was despondent on their form ahead of the race. Follow all the action from Belgium below!
