Andrea Kimi Antonelli has strengthened his position at the top of the 2026 Formula 1 World Championship after winning the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps. The Mercedes driver converted his strong weekend into another 25 points and now leads the championship by 45 points.
Antonelli has 204 points after ten races, while Lewis Hamilton has moved up to second place with 159 points. The Ferrari driver finished fourth in Belgium, while George Russell failed to score after his retirement.

The McLaren drivers continue to occupy fifth and sixth positions. Lando Norris remains ahead of Oscar Piastri, although the Australian reduced the gap by four points in Belgium. Piastri finished fifth, two places ahead of Norris, who crossed the line seventh. Norris now has 103 points, while Piastri has 92.
Max Verstappen remains seventh, but the Red Bull driver is closing in on the McLaren pair. Verstappen claimed third place at Spa and now has 91 points, just one behind Piastri and 12 behind Norris.
Isack Hadjar continues to hold eighth place in the championship. The Red Bull driver produced another strong performance in Belgium, finishing sixth after starting the race from the back of the grid. His tally has now increased to 60 points.
