♖ Torrential rain delayed the Belgian GP start by 90 minutes, causing chaos behind the safety car until racing finally began on lap 5!
♖ Oscar Piastri launched into the lead at Kemmel on lap five and never looked back—win number six, title lead extended.
♖ Despite pole, Norris couldn’t hold Piastri—crossed second, just 3.4s behind, still in hot pursuit in the championship chase.
♖ Leclerc snatched P3 for Ferrari, with Verstappen frustrated in fourth—Red Bull’s struggles continue under Spa’s moody skies.
♖ From P18 to P7, Hamilton gambled on slicks and delivered a masterclass in chaos management and tyre timing.
♖ Fourth place secures Verstappen’s third in the standings—just enough to prevent his exit clause from triggering (contract drama dodged).
♖ A dominant 1–2 at Spa gives McLaren 516 points—double Ferrari’s total. They’re rewriting the Constructors’ title playbook.
♖ Ferrari hangs on to P2 in the Constructors’ but trails McLaren by 250+ points—solid, but nowhere near enough.
♖ Russell’s consistency and Antonelli’s emergence keep Mercedes securely in third—a sharp turn from their early-season slump.
♖ Despite Verstappen’s efforts, Red Bull trails Mercedes by 28 points—rumblings continue over their fading 2025 form.

♖ Antonelli, Albon, Hülkenberg, and Ocon locked in battle—every race reshuffles the pack in F1’s tightest fight.
♖ Toto Wolff dismisses Verstappen switch talks: ‘Russell and Antonelli are our future.’ That Sardinia meeting? Just smoke.
♖ Horner is out, Mekies is in. Red Bull resets its leadership style to less ego and more team, but Verstappen’s still the headline act.
♖ Ex-footballer Marvin Sordell pushes for Africa’s Abuja Grand Prix—government backing, hotel builds, kart tracks. F1’s next frontier?
♖ Flavio’s back! Alpine restructures under Briatore’s shadow. New drivers, new HQ plans, and an Audi tie-in are looming for 2026.
♖ Kamui Kobayashi back in an F1 cockpit with Haas—11 years later! A fan-favourite moment powered by Toyota.
♖ The FIA aims to clamp down on A/B team collusion, firmly placing Red Bull and Racing Bulls in the regulatory spotlight.
♖ Under Mekies, Red Bull shifts from drama to discipline—it is still quick, but a quieter beast is emerging.
