Belgian GP: Max Verstappen fastest, but Charles Leclerc takes Pole at Spa

F1 Belgian GP: Formula 1: Max Verstappen put the fastest lap in Q3 but will start 6th with a 5-place grid penalty. It will be a Leclerc – Perez front row on Sunday, as the Mexican has well and truly put that torrid qualifying run to bed now. Hamilton and Sainz will share the second row. McLaren’s challenge faded – Piastri qualified sixth, Norris seventh.

It's RACE WEEK again! 🙌🇧🇪
