Max Verstappen from Red Bull secured the top spot in qualifying under rainy conditions at Spa, but he will be starting the race from the 11th position due to a penalty for exceeding his engine quota.
This advancement elevates Charles Leclerc in the Ferrari to pole position, with Verstappen’s teammate Sergio Perez taking the second spot after an impressive qualifying performance.
Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes rounds out the top three, alongside McLaren’s Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, who recently claimed a notable 1-2 finish in Hungary, with Piastri celebrating his first grand prix victory.
