The Belgian Grand Prix hosted the third sprint race of the season at the historic Spa-Francorchamps, where the drivers circled the 7km circuit 15 times before the chequered flag fell. 

Verstappen managed to defend brilliantly to secure victory against two fast-paced McLarens behind, with the top three separated by just over a second. 

However, it wasn’t as simple for another team down the grid: Alpine. 

Ahead of the sprint, it was confirmed that Franco Colapinto would start the race from the pit lane after a change to the Argentine’s front wing. Then their leading driver, Pierre Gasly, also had a problem on the way to the grid. 

It was reported that the Frenchman had a suspected water leak and was pushed off the grid, where he was originally planned to start eighth, and pushed into the garage. 

Gasly later joined the race, in clean air, behind the pack, albeit two laps down behind the leader.
