Andrea Kimi Antonelli strengthens his grip on the title lead with victory at the 2026 Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix.
Antonelli’s win at Spa extended his advantage atop the drivers championship to 45 points over Lewis Hamilton, who moves up to second after causing George Russell’s retirement on the opening lap.
Russell’s retirement turned a possible points-scoring afternoon into a major loss as he dropped to third in the championship, 50 points behind Mercedes teammate Antonelli.
Charles Leclerc remains fourth, just 28 points behind Russell, with his second-place finish at Spa edging him closer to the title conversation as the Monesgaque continues to deliver consistent results for Ferrari.
McLaren duo of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri follow in fifth and sixth, respectively, with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen just a single point behind Piastri in seventh.
In the F1 constructors championship, Mercedes remains on top with 358 points but the battle for fifth place has tightened, with Racing Bulls drawing level with Alpine.
