McLaren dominated the rain-delayed 2025 edition of the Belgian GP, as Oscar Piastri pounced on Lando Norris and then saw off his team-mate’s late charge
Oscar Piastri won the Belgian Grand Prix and extended his championship lead to 16 points by keeping McLaren team-mate Lando Norris behind him. The heavy rain before the race promised an exciting mixed-up grand prix, but the race was suspended due to the weather conditions. Piastri’s early overtake on Norris put him in the lead, and despite Norris’ efforts, Piastri maintained his advantage. By switching to slick tyres earlier, Piastri increased his lead over Norris, who struggled to catch up due to errors during the race. Charles Leclerc defended his third place against Max Verstappen, securing a podium finish behind Piastri and Norris.
