Lando Norris beat McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri by less than one tenth of a second in Qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton was left to rue a mistake which left him in 16th.
Norris turned the tables on Piastri, who had been ahead of him all weekend, with a stunning first lap in Q3 to secure his fourth pole of the season and provide the perfect opportunity to make inroads into his nine-point deficit in the Drivers’ Championship.
Charles Leclerc produced an equally impressive lap to take third from Saturday’s earlier Sprint winner Max Verstappen, whose set-up change for Qualifying for more downforce did not allow him to challenge the McLarens.
Lewis Hamilton has his lap time deleted for exceeding track limits, meaning he is out in Q1 at the Belgian GP
Hamilton was knocked out in Q1 for the second successive day, after he was eliminated in the first part of Sprint Qualifying on Friday. Hamilton thought he was safely through but his best lap was deleted for cutting Turn 4 at Raidillon, which put him down to 16th.
Kimi Antonelli was also bumped out in Q1 in 18th but Mercedes team-mate George Russell qualified sixth, just behind Williams’ Alex Albon.
Yuki Tsunoda enjoyed his best Red Bull qualifying in seventh, ahead of Racing Bulls’ Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson as Sauber’s Gabriel Bortoleto took 10th.

How Sprints could decide the F1 title battle
As if the climax of a tense battle for the 2025 Formula 1 title wasn't enough, three Sprint weekends across the final six rounds of the season are about to add more drama into the mix.Lando Norris has reduced his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri's championship lead to 22 points, while Red Bull's Max Verstappen continues to lurk 63 points back from the Australian. While there's no doubt that Piastri has the upper hand, the 24 extra points available across 100km Saturday races in Austin, Sao Paulo and Qatar will undoubtedly heighten Norris' hopes of pulling off a comeback.A quirk of this year's schedule means that for the first time since the Belgian Grand Prix in July, the Sprint format returns this weekend at the United States Grand Prix in Texas and then alternates in and out for the remaining rounds […]
Arch Manning unfazed as Steve Sarkisian retools Texas offense amid mid-season roster shake-up
In the wake of two unexpected departures, Steve Sarkisian is recalibrating the strategy at Texas Longhorns. On Wednesday at the SEC coaches teleconference, he addressed the losses of sophomore running back Jerrick Gibson and senior kicker Will Stone, both of whom left the program after participating in four games this season and intend to preserve a year of eligibility by redshirting before entering the transfer portal. Sarkisian did not mince words. "They wanted to redshirt and transfer," he said, referencing Gibson and Stone's decisions.When pressed on how the team would compensate for those departures, he stated: "Who will take those carries is everybody, whether that's Tre, whether that's Christian, whether that's James, whether that's Cedric when he gets back. We've got ample bodies; we should be okay in that aspect."For Texas, this moment presents more than just a roster shake-up. With Arch Manning entrenched as […]
