Lewis Hamilton makes amends for disastrous F1 Belgian GP weekend as Lando Norris loses ground after 80 MINUTE delay
OSCAR PIASTRI rained on Lando Norris' parade to win a sodden Belgian Grand Prix. The fearless Aussie driver left pole-sitter Norris for dust after just one lap to take the lead and see out a largely uneventful race in Spa.

Charles Leclerc sealed the third and final podium spot today after a fierce battle with Max Verstappen, who had to settle for fourth, while George Russell came in fifth. Lewis Hamilton put in an absolute shift to finish in seventh from 18th after starting in the pit lane due to taking on a new power unit in his Ferrari. The race was delayed by a whopping one hour and 20 minutes after Spa was hit with its usual downpour, that even KO'd the race in 2021. Advertisement READ MORE IN FOOTBALL The safety car zipped around the track with the drivers following behind, with their cars spraying out water like sprinklers. After four laps it was a rolling start which got things underway as Norris held onto the lead with teammate Piastri snapping at his heels. The ruthless Aussie nearly smashed into the back of Norris on lap five but missed by a whisker before nipping past him to take the lead. Ferrari's Hamilton made a huge statement after what he described as a 'weekend to forget', charging into 13th from 18th after a blistering opening ten laps, before becoming the first driver to gamble on slick tyres on lap 12 - a decision which rewarded him with a big jump up the order to P8.

Race leader Piastri, Leclerc and Verstappen all pitted though as Norris momentarily regained the lead. Nico Rosberg in frosty exchange with Jos Verstappen over Christian Horner after Red Bull sacking The Brit stuffed up his pit stop though and lost a huge chunk of time staying out an extra lap as Piastri pulled clear. Advertisement Seven-time world champion Hamilton worked tooth and nail and was running in seventh, right behind Alex Albon, halfway through the race. There was a tyre conundrum between the two McLarens as the race progressed, with Piastri asked to make a call on whether to make another pit stop or try to see it out until the end. The 24-year-old was on the medium tyres while Norris was on the more robust hard tyre and 15 laps, as dreary as talking about tyres, followed. Norris was the culprit of a silly mistake as he locked up at Turn 1 and lost more than half a second and it looked like game over to catch up with Piastri. Advertisement The 25-year-old had other ideas though and was closing the gap into the dying laps, with five seconds separating them at the end. Piastri said on team radio after: "Nicely f***ing done" Meanwhile, Hamilton added over the team radio. "Sorry about this weekend and losing you points" 4 Advertisement
