The Belgian Grand Prix has become a prey for Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes. The Brit won the race easily and Mercedes won a 1-2 at Spa-Francorchamps. In the driver's championship Hamilton leads the way to Max Verstappen and Mercedes also leads the way in the constructors' championship.

Mercedes' double podium gives the team 43 points in total this weekend. Red Bull Racing, however, has to make do with 23 points, as Alexander Albon only managed sixth place. Renault managed to score as many points as Red Bull, as they not only finished fourth and fifth, but also the fastest lap of the race. As a result, they are making good progress in midfield.

All Ferrari teams zero points

Behind it, it is the only McLaren car that also scores good points. Lando Norris managed to drive to seventh place and that adds six points to the total. AlphaTauri managed to get in the points with Pierre Gasly and with an eleventh place of Daniil Kvyat they had almost two drivers in the points. In ninth and tenth place is Racing Point, which is still disappointing. The expectations were very high. Ferrari and the teams with a Ferrari engine are also disappointing. No team managed to get points and Kimi Raikkonen was the best driver with a Ferrari engine, even before the drivers of the big team.
