Careful at the La Source hairpin, the Dutch driver waited until the Combes corner at the end of the Kemmel straight to launch his attack on Oscar Piastri and take the lead of the race.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab I knew there was a possibility to overtake at turn 5. I tried not to make mistakes even though I had brake issues in the last chicane. I am very happy to win here. It&#8217;s my favorite circuit and I&#8217;m almost at home. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>This victory allows Verstappen to gain a few points on the McLaren drivers in the championship, and offers Laurent Mekies a successful debut at the helm of the Red Bull Racing team.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab Laurent is very motivated, I get along very well with him. It&#8217;s a good start under his leadership. No matter who manages the team, my job is to win races. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>One thing is certain, the man with 65 F1 victories will not easily let his world champion crown slip away to his rivals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the end of the 15-lap race at Spa-Francorchamps, the four-time world champion showed great resistance to the two McLaren drivers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":98,"featured_media":46290,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,1749],"tags":[474,941,1334],"class_list":["post-32283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-f1","category-news","tag-grand-prix-de-belgique","tag-verstappen","tag-red-bull"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
