McLaren driver Oscar Piastri secured victory at the Belgian Grand Prix after overtaking teammate Lando Norris during the opening lap. The Australian driver maintained his advantage throughout the race despite challenging wet conditions that delayed the start by 80 minutes. Charles Leclerc from Ferrari claimed the final podium position while Piastri extended his championship lead over Norris to 16 points. Race officials implemented a rolling start procedure following four safety car laps as weather conditions improved with emerging sunshine. Norris experienced battery difficulties that hampered his performance after starting from pole position.
The McLaren team achieved their sixth one-two finish of the current season through Piastri's controlled driving performance. Max Verstappen finished fourth after winning Saturday's sprint race under new Red Bull leadership. Laurent Mekies served as Red Bull team principal for his debut race weekend following Christian Horner's dismissal two weeks earlier. Piastri credited his first-lap overtaking maneuver as the decisive moment for securing the race victory. The 13th round of the championship concluded successfully despite the weather-related delays.
