Starting Grid for the Belgian Grand Prix: F1 Lineup Revealed

Formula One returns this weekend to the iconic Spa-Francorchamps circuit for the Belgian Grand Prix. In the previous race in Hungary, Oscar Piastri achieved his first F1 victory, finishing ahead of his McLaren teammate, Lando Norris, who followed team orders. Lewis Hamilton secured third place on the podium, while Max Verstappen had a challenging Sunday, clashing with his race engineer and colliding with Hamilton, ultimately finishing fifth. Despite this setback, Verstappen maintains a 76-point lead in the world championship with 11 races remaining. Verstappen is expected to face a 10-place grid penalty for taking a new engine, though he has previously won from lower grid positions at Spa. This weekend is also crucial for his teammate, Sergio Perez, amid uncertainty about his future with the team after a series of poor performances.
