The Belgian Grand Prix took place this past weekend. Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari) took victory over title rival Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes). Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen took the final spot on the podium. Vettel passed Hamilton on lap one halfway along the Kemmel straight and the German was unchallenged for the remainder of the race.

A spectacular first corner incident eliminated several cars including Fernando Alonso, Charles Leclerc and later on Kimi Raikkonen and Daniel Ricciardo. You can see that accident by clicking here.
