Antonelli wins Belgian GP, Russell out

Kimi Antonelli won the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps, claiming his sixth victory of the season and doubling his championship lead from 25 to 50 points over teammate George Russell, who crashed out on the opening lap after a collision with Lewis Hamilton. Charles Leclerc finished second, 1.9 seconds behind Antonelli, with Max Verstappen third and Hamilton fourth, though Hamilton faces a post-race investigation for an unsafe pit release that resulted in his car striking a mechanic. Hamilton's fourth-place finish moved him back up to second in the championship standings, now 45 points behind Antonelli.
