Race Recap
Andrea Kimi Antonelli converted pole into victory at the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix, leading from the front to give Mercedes a dominant win at Spa-Francorchamps. Charles Leclerc brought his Ferrari home in second while Max Verstappen completed the podium in third for Red Bull. Lando Norris set the fastest lap of the race at 1:48.890 despite not featuring in the top three. The retirements of Lance Stroll after 25 laps and Sergio Pérez after just 13 laps shaped the midfield picture and George Russell’s exit from the race meant Mercedes finished with only one car classified.
About the Circuit
Spa-Francorchamps is one of the longest circuits on the calendar at 7.004 km per lap, with 19 corners spread across the Ardennes hills in Stavelot, Belgium. The layout demands a wide range of car setups because it mixes long flat-out sections with tight technical sequences, which means teams are always chasing a compromise that suits neither end of the track perfectly.
It’s a circuit that rewards commitment. The lap record sits at 1:44.701, set in 2024 and the combination of high-speed exposure and unpredictable Belgian weather means conditions can change dramatically between sessions. Few tracks on the calendar punish a mistake as quickly or as severely as this one does.
