US EditionOscar Piastri ‘Took some Risk’ to Win Rain Delayed Belgian Grand Prix
- George Russell won the rain-affected 2025 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps on Sunday, holding off Oscar Piastri who challenged fiercely.
- Heavy rain delayed the race start for over an hour, with the FIA red-flagging it due to poor visibility and safety concerns during the formation lap.
- The race began with a prolonged safety car period lasting five laps before resuming with a rolling start, and featured varied tire strategies as the track gradually dried, allowing Piastri to close in, though Russell maintained his lead.
- Piastri extended his championship lead to six wins this year despite finishing second, while Lando Norris, who started on pole, finished fifth and trails Piastri by 16 points.
- Spa will no longer host a guaranteed annual race, with only four of the next six seasons scheduled there, reflecting changes in Formula 1's calendar management.
