Kimi Antonelli achieved a remarkable victory in the Belgian Grand Prix, held at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit.

The race started with Max Verstappen taking the lead, but attention quickly focused on the incident between George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, which led to Russell's withdrawal from the competition. After the race resumed, Antonelli, Leclerc, and Verstappen had a tight battle for victory, with frequent position changes. The decisive moment came on lap 40, when Antonelli overtook Leclerc, securing the first position until the end.

This is Antonelli's sixth victory of the season, further solidifying his position as the leader in the overall standings. He also becomes the first Italian driver to win from pole position at this Grand Prix since 1952, matching a historic milestone.
