If for some the Belgian Grand Prix didn’t really take place, half points were still awarded for the top 10. The ranking is determined by Saturday’s qualifications. The top ten drivers earn points, except for Sergio Perez who finished last in the race after his accident before the Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

By his strange victory, Max Verstappen comes within three points of his rival, Lewis Hamilton. It’s in the middle of the table that there is a change. Daniel Ricciardo overtakes the French drivers with his solid fourth place and positions himself in eighth place. His second place obtained in Q3 allows George Russell to have thirteen points on his counter, surpassing his teammate and the Alfa Romeo drivers.<\/p>\n
