F1 Belgian Grand Prix LIVE: Max Verstappen leads with Lewis Hamilton battling for podium | F1 | Sport

Lewis Hamilton was penalised by the FIA after colliding with Sergio Perez during Saturday’s chaotic sprint event.

Max Verstappen managed to claim the spoils by fending off Oscar Piastri after the start of the session was delayed, with a huge downpour soaking the grid just moments before the lights were set to go out.
