George Russell clinched victory at the Belgian Grand Prix in Spa, marking his third career win and second of the season. Russell executed a brilliant one-stop strategy to move from sixth to first, holding off Lewis Hamilton in a dramatic final lap. Mercedes secured a 1-2 finish with Hamilton coming in second, just 0.526 seconds behind Russell. Oscar Piastri of McLaren finished a close third. This race extends the streak of six consecutive Grands Prix where the polesitter did not win. Russell's win was particularly impressive given his ageing tyres and the team's challenging start to the weekend.
