GP BELGIUM F1. In the rain and after a daunting qualifying, Max Verstappen will start in pole position ahead of the Williams of Russell and Lewis Hamilton.

[Updated August 29, 2021 at 12:23 PM] We were expecting rain, we were expecting entertainment and surprises, we got it all! On the Spa circuit, for the return to Formula 1, qualifying was spectacular with pole position signed by Max Verstappen ahead of the astonishing Williams of George Russell. The Briton even had the luxury of beating a certain Lewis Hamilton who will start 3rd. Behind, Daniel Ricciardo signs a good 4th place just like Sebastian Vettel who will start 5th. For the French, Pierre Gasly will start 6th while Esteban Ocon signs the 8th time.

This session was also and above all marked by the terrible accident of Lando Norris. In the pouring rain and while Vettel demanded a red flag, the McLaren driver lost control of his single-seater in the Raidillon and totally destroyed his car. More fear than harm for Norris who will be well at the start of the GP. Grid :
