HIGHLIGHTS: Watch the qualifying action from Spa as Verstappen goes fastest while Leclerc inherits pole
Share
Charles Leclerc inherited pole for the Belgian Grand Prix thanks to Max Verstappen – who was fastest in qualifying – taking a 10-place grid penalty for Sunday's race.
The Red Bull man topped all three qualifying sessions in Spa but will start from 11th place, while Leclerc's last ditch lap of 1m 53.754s (0.595s behind Verstappen's fastest Q3 effort) was enough to see him start at the front of the grid.
Verstappen's Red Bull team mate Sergio Perez will begin Sunday's Grand Prix in P2, a welcome return to form for the Mexican, while Lewis Hamilton will start P3.
It was a change in fortunes for the McLaren duo of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri who were fifth and sixth fastest respectively, meaning they will start the race from fourth and fifth.
