Carlos Sainz will start on pole position in today’s Belgian Grand Prix after grid penalties for Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc.
Back-to-back wins for the Red Bull driver going into the holidays may have spruced up a huge 80-point lead over Leclerc with time running out for Ferrari to reverse their self-inflicted lack of fortune. Both, however, will start from the back.
Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes could certainly have something to say in the fight for race wins in the latter half of the campaign, the Brit on a run of five podiums in a row.
It has been a busy time for Formula One away from the track over the summer too with Daniel Ricciardo leaving McLaren at the end of the year after Fernando Alonso confirmed his switch to Aston Martin.
