Sunday’s race in Belgium was delayed by around 80 minutes due to heavy rainfall. The podium finishers were the same as the top three on the grid after Saturday’s qualifying. While Norris started from pole, Piastri joined him on the front row in second, and Leclerc started third. All three drivers managed to maintain their positions on the wet track.Talking about his strategy after clinching victory, Piastri said, “Lively, very lively! I knew Lap 1 would probably be my best chance of winning the race. I got a good exit out of Turn 1, lifted as little as I dared, and yeah. We had it mostly under control from there. I was a bit disappointed with the rolling start as I thought that would take away the opportunity. But when I was that close through Eau Rouge, I knew I was going to lift a little less than Lando.

Proud of my first lap. I had the same plan as Norris if I was second — I knew that was a likely decision for him, but the medium was the sensible tyre for me.”

Norris, who started on pole but lost the winner’s trophy to Piastri, said after the race, “Oscar just did a good job, nothing more to say. Committed more through Eau Rouge, got the slipstream and the run. That was it, nothing else I could do at that point. Oscar deserved it today.

Shoulda, woulda, coulda. Oscar deserved it. I'll review my things, but still happy for the team — another 1-2, and our first 1-2 here in many, many years.
