Rain Drama and Pit Lane Thrills Shake Up 2025 Belgian Grand Prix
Wow, what a chaotic and exhilarating day at Spa-Francorchamps! The 2025 Belgian Grand Prix had everything a Formula 1 fan could ask for—rain delays, strategic gambles, bold overtakes, and a serious shake-up at the front. If you missed it, here’s what went down.
The race didn’t start under the clearest skies. Rain swept across the legendary circuit, delaying the race and throwing team strategies into disarray right from the get-go. When the lights finally went out, it was Lando Norris who had pole position, but it didn’t last long. As the cars surged forward under slippery conditions, Oscar Piastri pulled off a decisive move to snatch the lead from his McLaren teammate.
And from there? It was anything but predictable.

Lewis Hamilton, starting from the pit lane after a difficult qualifying session, put on a clinic in how to hustle through a field. One overtake after another, the Ferrari driver carved his way up the order, using the changeable conditions to his advantage. Slicks were a gamble early on, but as the track began to dry, Hamilton’s early stop for mediums proved smart, helping him surge into the top ten—at least for a while.
Meanwhile, all eyes were on the pit strategies. On Lap 13, race leader Oscar Piastri dove in, sparking a chain reaction from the front-runners. Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, George Russell—everyone scrambled to swap tyres, hoping to catch a window of grip on the rapidly evolving track.
Max, who had already won Saturday’s sprint race, wasn’t quite able to match the pace in the full Grand Prix. His Red Bull looked threatening at times, even getting close to Leclerc in some thrilling wheel-to-wheel action. But ultimately, the Ferrari held its ground, keeping Verstappen at bay.
Further down, Damon Hill summed it up perfectly on BBC Radio 5 Live: “The cars were sliding around... these inters just don’t like dry tarmac.” That drying track caught several drivers out, but it also set the stage for some of the most daring moves of the day.
In the end, Oscar Piastri maintained his composure and claimed victory, followed by Norris and Leclerc. It was a huge moment—not just for Piastri, but for McLaren, who had both drivers on the podium.
All in all, the 2025 Belgian Grand Prix was a wild ride from lights to flag. It had the weather, the drama, and those moments that remind us why Spa is one of the most beloved circuits in the world.
