Charles Leclerc ticks behind the two McLarens, disaster Lewis Hamilton
Qualifying for the Belgian GP, a round of the F1 World Championship held at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, was dominated by McLarens with Lando Norris in particular taking pole position, ahead of teammate Oscar Piastri.
Charles Leclerc took a fine third place in the Ferrari and will start on the second row just ahead of Max Verstappen’s Red Bull, which was just three thousandths worse.
Badly Lewis Hamilton: Ferrari’s Briton will start from 16th place. Even further back, eighteenth, Kimi Antonelli.
