Formula 1: Verstappen Fends Off Piastri To Win Spa Sprint Race
Belgian Grand Prix: Max Verstappen secured his first Sprint win of the 2025 Formula 1 season at Spa-Francorchamps, triumphing in a tense dash during the Belgian Grand Prix weekend. The Red Bull driver delivered a bold overtake on pole-sitter Oscar Piastri during the opening lap and held firm under pressure to take a commanding victory.
Piastri had made a strong start, maintaining the lead into Turn 1, but Verstappen capitalized on superior pace and grip to move ahead later in the lap. Despite growing threats from both McLaren cars, Verstappen showcased his defensive skills to maintain P1 throughout the race. Piastri and teammate Lando Norris completed the podium in second and third respectively.
"It worked out really well. That is the only real opportunity that you’re going to get against them, and we got it into Turn 5. I knew it was going to be very tough keeping them behind, so it was very much like cat and mouse with DRS, battery usage, and the whole race was within seven tenths.
