F1 2023: MSC Cruises Belgian Grand Prix

Before the F1 2023 season heads for their summer break until Holland, they are going all-out for their different kind of Spa Day with the MSC Cruises Belgian Grand Prix, which was held in Spa-Francorchamps.

As the lights went out, the 44-lap Spa day begins with Charles Leclerc leading into Turn 1 until Sergio Perez lunges into the lead. Meanwhile, Oscar Piastri caught damage in Lap 2 and was therefore out of the race. As Sergio Perez went into the pits on Lap 14 & 15, he regained the lead from Max Verstappen, but not until the champion lunged through the lead.

With imminent rainy weather halfway through the race, the drivers are going all out while Max Verstappen treated this Spa day like any other day.

In the end, Max Verstappen wins the Belgian Grand Prix while Sergio Perez finished 2nd, another 1-2 punch for Red Bull. Charles Leclerc of Ferrari finished 3rd.

After Spa, Verstappen continues to maintain his lead with 314 points while Sergio Perez is in 2nd with 189 points and Fernando Alonso's in third with 149 points.

The next race of the F1 23 season is the Heineken Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort this August 27th.
