Oscar Piastri extended his Formula One drivers’ championship lead after battling past McLaren teammate Lando Norris to win the rain-soaked Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday.
The race at the legendary Spa-Francorchamps was delayed by more than an hour after heavy rain made racing impossible.
But when action did get underway, it didn’t take long for Piastri to impose himself on the race.
The Australian started second on the grid, behind his McLaren teammate Norris. Due to the conditions, though, the race started under safety car supervision, with racing only getting properly underway after the fourth lap.
It was during that first racing lap that the 24-year-old made his move, sling-shooting past Norris.
