The last race before the summer break in Belgium gave us a great show. 4 teams gathered in a few seconds, and a victory that was decided in the final laps. Strategies, degradation, and mistakes made the difference between a third and a first place. Before Russell's disqualification, Mercedes had managed to finish with a one-two that would have brought many points to the Brackley team. However, he had to settle for second place, considering that McLaren, with Piastri's second place and Norris' fifth, collected 28 points compared to just 25 scored by Lewis Hamilton. Of the top 4 teams, Red Bull is the one that emerged in Belgium with the least consistent haul, just 18 points between Verstappen and Perez. The performance of the Mexican, who started on the front row together with Charles Leclerc, and finished seventh, is particularly important. But what is the points situation like at Fanta F1? Let's see the rider by rider score in the Belgian GP.
Obviously these scores have been updated taking into account George Russell's disqualification, which nullified the Mercedes double.
The scores of the drivers at the Fanta F1 in the Belgian GP
Before giving ourselves almost a month's rest, let's see the scores of the drivers at the Fanta F1 in the Belgian GP. The race saw bold strategies and tactical choices that overturned predictions, with some drivers taking unexpected opportunities to improve their positions. The race shuffled the drivers' standings, highlighting the importance of details in this phase of the championship. McLaren despite having the best car in the group, he paid for several mistakes, in particular that of Norris who threw himself out at the start, losing three important positions. Even Piastri wasn't perfect this time. In his pit stop he went long and ended up hitting a mechanic, losing precious seconds considering the three-man sprint finish between him, Russell and Hamilton. These are the opportunities that can make the difference in a championship that is still long with 10 races to go.
But let's see how our drivers fared at Fanta F1. In first place here too we find Lewis Hamilton, followed by Piastri e Verstappen who, thanks to a series of overtaking, comeback from P11, straightened out the weekend at Fanta F1.
