The Dutch Grand Prix, a Formula 1 race featuring Max Verstappen, takes place at the CM.com Circuit Zandvoort, on Sunday, August 27, 2023 (8/27/23).
SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium — Defending Formula One champion Max Verstappen enters the mid-season break in unstoppable form, after emphatically winning the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday for an eighth straight win and 10th overall of a crushingly dominant season.
George Russell was sixth for Mercedes, with Lando Norris , Esteban Ocon , Lance Stroll , and Yuki Tsunoda completing the top 10. Last year Verstappen won from 14th, and once he overtook Perez on Lap 17 of 44 his 45th career win was seemingly inevitable.Red Bull extended its record to 13 straight wins, including the final race of last season.
With some rain forecast, Verstappen boxed on the next lap and came out about 2 seconds behind Perez. Just minutes later he cruised past Perez and, as so often this season, the rest was just about control.“It’s been a bit of a rough patch,” the 33-year-old Mexican said. “I really need this summer break, it’s been really intense. I’ll come back really strong for Zandvoort.”
Piastri had to retire, while Verstappen overtook Hamilton on Lap 6, Leclerc three laps later and made short work of Perez just before some rain fell briefly.It was an early end for Piastri, who had impressed with a second place in Saturday’s sprint race.“Of course the race was good on my side, a shame for Carlos as we had good pace,” Leclerc said. “When you look at the Red Bulls we still have a lot of work to do ... This was the best we could achieve today, no doubt.
