Belgian Grand Prix 2025: Spa Delivers Chaos, Comebacks and Classic Drama

Table of Contents

The Belgian Grand Prix 2025 at Spa-Francorchamps gave us everything F1 fans live for. Rain delays, team radio meltdowns, jaw-dropping overtakes, and even heartfelt tributes. Oscar Piastri took home the win, but the real drama was scattered all across the grid.

Piastri Shines, Verstappen Vents, Rain Creates Chaos

Oscar Piastri delivered a masterclass in mixed conditions. With calm nerves and clean lines, he led McLaren to yet another 1-2 finish. He now sits on 266 points, pulling further ahead in the title fight. His teammate Lando Norris chased hard but couldn’t quite close the 3.4-second gap.

Meanwhile, Max Verstappen looked more frustrated than fast. After spending ten laps behind the safety car due to heavy rain, he didn’t hold back:

“It just ruins a nice, classic wet race. We either try to push for a proper wet race, or we just stop racing in the wet and wait for it to be dry… It’s a shame for everyone.”

Leclerc’s Radio Frustration and Hamilton’s Comeback Masterpiece

Charles Leclerc also had a moment that will be meme’d for weeks. His radio message was classic Ferrari chaos:

“Leave me alone please. I can have no information then when he’s getting close I have too much information. Keep it constant, don’t worry.”

Essentially, provide him with updates, but avoid overdoing it. Simple, right?

Lewis Hamilton, on the other hand, did what he does best: deliver when it counts. From P18 to P7, he carved his way through the field in his Ferrari, earning Driver of the Day honors. The red looked good on him, but the driving looked even better.
