Oscar Piastri Sends a Message With Sprint Qualifying Domination at Spa
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Drivers' Championship leader Oscar Piastri secured pole position for the Belgium Grand Prix Sprint Race, setting a blistering time which rival Max Verstappen could not beat. Piastri cleared Verstappen by more than four-tenths and cleared his teammate Lando Norris by six-tenths. The Australian driver topped the times during Free Practice 1 as well, although he narrowly missed out in SQ2 after his lap was deleted for exceeding the limits. After the session, Piastri addressed his "scare" during the second part of qualifying. Max Verstappen of the Netherlands and Oracle Red Bull Racing congratulates Oscar Piastri of Australia and McLaren in Parc ferme during Sprint qualifying ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Belgium at Circuit de...

Thanks to the team, the car has been great," he said. "This is a track I love. It's my favourite one of the year. Maybe that gave me an extra couple of tenths. "When the car is handling as well as it was today, it's a pleasure." Even though he is starting at the top, he will need to watch out for Verstappen, who appears rapid at one of his best tracks. The RB21 was set up well, and Piastri is well aware of the threat behind him for the sprint race start. "Red Bull are quick in a straight line. That will make life difficult and Spa is probably the worst track to have pole at," he added. "I think the pace in the car is really strong and I felt good today, so hopefully we can have a good day tomorrow." Piastri has the opportunity to grow his championship lead again on Saturday, given that his only true rival for the title is his teammate Lando Norris, who appears out of sorts with the car at Spa. He is eight points ahead of Norris and a whopping 69 points ahead of Verstappen. In a title race, a sprint race win could help Piastri gain a big edge heading into the upcoming summer break.

Mercedes Chief Toto Wolff Fears Christian Horner Return With the FIA
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff fears a return of former Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner with Formula One's governing body, the FIA. Wolff joked that he would "be in the s**t" if Horner returned with the FIA. Red Bull parted ways with Horner after the British Grand Prix with immediate effect, replacing him with former Racing Bulls team principal Laurent Mekies. This weekend's Belgian Grand Prix will mark Red Bull's first race in F1 without Horner leading the team. Wolff and Horner are not known for their friendship. Their rivalry peaked during the 2021 season when Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen battled closely for the championship. Wolff hinted that Horner won't be away from F1 for a long time, joking that he would be in trouble if Horner joined the FIA. When asked if he was going to miss Horner, Wolff said: Red Bull Racing Team Principal Christian Horner and Mercedes GP Executive Director Toto Wolff talk in the Team Principals Press Conference during practice ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Miami at Miami International Autodrome...

More Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images "In a way, yes. He was one of the main [characters] and I don't think he has gone forever, I think he's going to pop up in some kind of function. "I need to be careful, he could be rocking up at the FIA, and then I am really in the shit, so you never know. But if you look at it, he was a main protagonist, he was controversial and polarising and not soft-washed, and that is good from the entertainment factor. "From that perspective, he is going to be missed, and his track record speaks for itself." When asked if he had contacted Horner after his exit, he said: "No, not yet, I didn't find it appropriate for the time being, but I certainly will [contact him]." Wolff has been in the news recently, given reports about his talks with Verstappen for a potential future signing with Mercedes. Clearing the air, Wolff revealed at Spa that George Russell and Andrea Kimi Antonelli will likely form Mercedes' driver lineup in 2026. He said: "Discussions have been taking place over the last weeks and months, so they are all up to date. "The direction of travel is that we want to continue with George and Kimi. That is the first priority. "But you can't look past someone like Max and the plans he has for the future. We did that, but I don't think there will be any big surprises." Dismissing reports of meeting Verstappen off the coast of Sardinia during the mini break in July, Wolff said: "What's new is that people are doing photo collages with airplanes. We've never had that before. "But if you spend your holidays close to each other, it doesn't mean that you're going to work together in Formula 1. "We have always gotten along well and by chance we like to spend our holidays at the same places."

Lewis Hamilton 'Massively Frustrated' After Belgian GP Qualifying Mishap
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Ferrari Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton was "massively frustrated" after his SF-25 F1 car oversteered unusually at the penultimate corner of Spa-Francorchamps during the Belgian Grand Prix sprint race qualifying. Hamilton was on a flying lap in SQ1, and just as he approached the second-to-last corner, his car's rear locked up momentarily, leading him to spin out and go off the race track. A technical fault is suspected to be behind the incident, given the way in which his SF-25 spun out. Sky Sports F1's Anthony Davidson also noted the clunking in the audio when Hamilton was downshifting. Davidson stated: "I hear a lot of locking in the rear axle on the car. That clunking is backlash in the gearbox. I don't blame the driver for that moment. Something is going on there in the downshift phase of that Ferrari. I give Lewis the benefit of the doubt for that one." Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Scuderia Ferrari speaks in the Drivers Press Conference during previews ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Belgium at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps on July 24, 2025 in Spa, Belgium. Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Scuderia Ferrari speaks in the Drivers Press Conference during previews ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Belgium at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps on July 24, 2025 in Spa, F1's Martin Brundle also ruled out Hamilton's fault. He said: "It looks like a technical issue. Nobody will be more surprised than Lewis. It's almost like the engine sort of stalled out, and every time he pulled another shift it's just locked the rear axle." Ferrari came into the race weekend with a new rear suspension. However, a frustrated Hamilton wasn't too positive about the new change on the SF-25 after the incident. He will start the sprint race in P18 on Saturday. Speaking to the media after the sprint qualifying session, he admitted that it was the first time in his career that his car's rear had locked up. When asked by Sky Sports News' Craig Slater what happened, he said: "I spun." Asked if it was a rear lock, he said: "[Yeah] First time, I think, in my career." When asked for his assessment of the car, he said: "Not great, not great. Yeah, there's not really a lot to say." Hamilton pointed out during the British Grand Prix that the SF-25 was undriveable. When asked if the car had become more drivable with the suspension upgrade, he shook his head, suggesting that there had been no improvement. Quizzed on his thoughts for the sprint race the next day, which follows the qualifying session for the main race, he said: "Tomorrow's a new day, so we'll try I'm massively frustrated, so... A lot of work's gone in, and to be there is not really great. So, yeah, hopefully tomorrow will be better." Hamilton's teammate Charles Leclerc managed to secure the fourth position for the sprint race behind Oscar Piastri, Max Verstappen, and Lando Norris in the same order.
