Kimi Antonelli won the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps, passing Charles Leclerc for the lead on Lap 34 and taking victory. Antonelli closed from behind after Leclerc pitted under a Virtual Safety Car on Lap 20; Antonelli had made his sole stop at the end of Lap 18 and cleared Lando Norris before chasing Leclerc. George Russell was eliminated in a first-lap incident with Lewis Hamilton, leaving Russell out and triggering a stewards investigation that left Hamilton with a five-second time penalty and a post-race probe for an unsafe release that hit a mechanic. Max Verstappen finished third for Red Bull, with Hamilton fourth on the road before his post-race investigation and Oscar Piastri fifth. The result stretches Antonelli's lead to 50 points over Russell, with Antonelli on 204 points and Hamilton provisionally second on 159 while Russell remains on 154. Gabriel Bortoleto equalled Audi's best-ever F1 result in eighth, with Arvid Lindblad and Franco Colapinto completing the top ten.
