Kimi Antonelli takes victory at 2026 Belgian Grand Prix

Kimi Antonelli won the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps, reclaiming momentum in his championship chase. Despite securing pole position, George Russell crashed into the gravel early in the race after a collision with Lewis Hamilton, leading to his retirement. Charles Leclerc finished strong in second place, using a strategic pit stop under a Virtual Safety Car to gain track position over Antonelli, who ultimately held off Leclerc for the win. This result enhances Antonelli's lead in the Drivers' Championship over Lewis Hamilton, while Russell falls further behind after another disappointing race weekend.
