The race, delayed by heavy rain, saw Piastri overtake pole-sitter Norris early on. Championship leader Piastri extended his points lead, while Max Verstappen (Red Bull) finished fourth

Stavelot: Oscar Piastri has clinched victory at the 2025 Belgian Grand Prix, leading a dominant one-two finish for McLaren at a rain-affected Spa-Francorchamps circuit. His teammate Lando Norris secured second place, while Ferrari's Charles Leclerc completed the podium in a delayed, wet-to-dry race.
The Grand Prix, initially delayed by over an hour due to torrential rain, eventually got underway behind the Safety Car. Piastri, starting second behind pole-sitter Norris, made a decisive move early in the race to take the lead from his teammate. He then expertly managed the challenging conditions and late pressure from Norris to extend his lead in the drivers' championship.
Four-time world champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull finished in a competitive fourth place, unable to challenge the pace of the McLarens and Leclerc in the main race.
Earlier in the weekend, in the Belgian GP Sprint race, it was Max Verstappen who emerged victorious, holding off Oscar Piastri (second) and Lando Norris (third).
The 2025 Belgian Grand Prix delivered a dramatic spectacle, testing the drivers' skill in variable conditions and McLaren's strong performance.
