The long sprint weekend at Spa is in the books, and while the rain delayed the start by 90 minutes, the racing action eventually delivered—mostly.
We break down all the key storylines from Belgium, including one of Lewis Hamilton’s worst-performing weekends in recent memory—but credit where it’s due, the recovery drive on Sunday showed flashes of the old magic.
McLaren dominated yet again, locking out P2 and P3 in the Sprint, then storming to a 1-2 finish in the GP. Oscar Piastri took center stage with a bold, lap-one move in the wet that set him up for a gritty and well-deserved first win of the season.
Charles Leclerc snuck back onto the podium, while Aston Martin suffered a weekend to forget, showing no pace and no progress. Despite some drama, the race itself veered dangerously close to dull—thanks to weather delays and processional racing once the track dried out.
Grab a coffee (or a waffle), and let’s debrief Spa.
