Belgium GP: Oscar Patteries beat Lando Norris to win a spa in wet dry race to increase the F -one title lead

Oscar Pytriye added his world championship lead against Lando Norris after surpassing his team’s partner and then contested a late challenge against his title rival to win the wet dry Belgian Grand Prix.

The race was delayed for 80 minutes after heavy rains in the spa-franchorchimps, and after that the first four laps behind the safety car followed the safety car, PESTRY pushed down the Salting shooting after throwing Plus Norris down in the lace combus.

On the wet but drying track, the preliminary early edge of the pistachia increased by nine seconds when Norris had to wait for an extra lap to go to the smart tires, and then it also had a slow pit stop.

But while his colleague chose a sharp but less sustainable medium tire at his stop, Norris and his engineer chose a tough compound – the move will likely provide him with the opportunity to return to victory later.

The difference between the tire eventually allowed Norris to promote a new challenge in the second half of the race when the leaders reached the same tire, but eventually three small mistakes were compromised on the charge – the last of which came to a partial lap in the LAs source.

Denying his team’s partner’s continuous hat-trick, the PE ESTEC’s sixth victory led to 16 points from next week’s Hungary’s Grand Prix-the last race before the summer break.

Ferrari’s Charles Lacker has scored more than 81 points from the winning champion Max Verstapin after being ranked third.

An inspirational qualifying performance was seen on the grid unexpectedly the pipe vertepen in the third, Lculler resisted early pressure from his Red Bill rival in the worst case, and after that the track was never permanently threatened.

Ferrari’s teammates Lewis Hamilton got rid of the seventh -ranked compulsory Spring Week end, which saw him knocking in the first part of both qualifying sessions.

Hamilton, whose car Ferrari, got out of the park ferrum before the race to fit a fresh engine, initially received a lot of lap from 18 to 13th, and then became the first part of the lap 12 to get six more places.

But Hamilton’s speed was once checked behind Williams’ Alex Alban, who was infected with Ferrari on the way to the checker flag to go home at home.

George Russell ended five seconds in the fifth place, but it was eventually a disappointing weekend for Mercedes, which was dominated by the spa last year, as he ended half a minute behind McLares. Rocky team’s teammate Kimmy Antony finished with a strict weekend and 16th.

But Liam Lawson contested a strong weekend in the eighth -ranked eighth place, a strong weekend in the ninth and 10th Alpine’s Perry Gasley, a strong weekend for racing bulls.

PESTRY MAKE NORORS ‘SACE FIRST ATTENDED ATTEND

As was predicted all week – and anyway the SPA -Franchorchimps is about the weekend of any race, and the microcklamite around the Ardenis jungle – the rainfall reached through the bucket burden in the pre -race hours.

The morning F3 race was already abandoned, and later the rain -affected F2 was interrupted by the safety cars, before the Grand Prix scheduled 2pm 30 minutes before the start of the UK, a fresh heavy rainbow hit the circuit.

Although Cars Headed Out for the Formation Lap on Time, the Pack was found to follow the Safety car and, with the cars quickly kicking up plauments of the long Kemmele Straight Even at Non-Racing Speeds Race control confirmed that the starting procedure was to be sensted.

It is not as if Versistapen agreed, Dutchman suggested that not completing more laps was “a bit stupid”.

The safety car officially took the drivers into the pit lane at the end of the initial lap, where they remained before the next one hour and more rainfall, before the rains reached the higher than the rains.

The Safety Car was initially re -divided for the original first four laps of the race to lead the field round to re -evaluate the situation, before the race control is ready, and thus the polystyter Nuris is ready to rolling for a rolling start.

But Norris’s initial advantage was immediately when the pastry immediately got a better run than the first hair pin, LA source. The Australian then tracked it closely under the Evo Rouge and then under the chemical, where he withdrew from the outside.

Boss Zak Brown of the MacLarn team later confirmed Sky Sports F1 That Norris had a “small battery problem” that did not help him in the initial exchange, though Noris confessed: “Oscar did just a good job (in the beginning). No more to say.”

“So nothing to complain.”

How much did Norris’s mistakes cost?

At the same time, it is clear that the track was now drying up when the driver was running on the intermediates, PESTRY had set up for smarter on lap 13, and McLaren was unable to ‘double stack’ their cars, which led to Nuris’s closer dropping cars and footholds.

After that, at a slow stop, the PESTA spent more time, and he left nine seconds when the race sat on the smart. Although one of his potential ace card was his tire decision and when the race entered his second half, he began to eliminate his deficit permanently.

But after a small error wide in the high -speed Pohon corner, its possibilities were effectively eliminated after a separate lockup in the LA source.

But a philosophical Norris then said: “This is Cana, Villa, Kina. Oscar deserved it. I am sure he made a couple of mistakes, so if he had run a perfect race, I could not win today. I will examine my things.”

And the PEST, who went to four races for the first time in this season before Sunday, said of his low -lying lead: “I finally struggled. The medium may not have been the best in the last five or six lap. We were mostly in control.

“I was very disappointed with myself yesterday [in the Sprint] But it turns out that starting P2 was not as bad as I thought. “
