F1 2020: Rolex Belgian Grand Prix

It's Spa day and it's not what you think it is because the F1 2020 season continues at Spa-Francorchamps for the Rolex Belgian Grand Prix as the drivers wrapping up the summer season with the most intense Spa day of the season.

Before the race began, Carlos Sainz called it quits in Spa because his car failed to start. Unlucky. Anyway, also before the race, the whole drivers and crew made a moment of silence to pay tribute to the late Formula 2 driver, Anthoine Hubert, who was killed on this track last year. As the race kicked off, Spa day never felt so intense but nothing is more so than seeing Antonio Giovinazzi and George Russell involved in an incident in sector 3 that sent them wondering what might have been.

From Pierre Gasly's intense move, a close shave for the two Ferrari drivers, and Daniel Ricciardo set the fastest lap of the race, this is how Spa day sums it up real good and in the end, Louis Hamilton continues his F1 dominance with a win while Valtteri Bottas finished 2nd and Max Verstappen in 3rd place.

Other finishers include Ricciardo, Esteban Ocon, Alex Albon, Lando Norris, Pierre Gasly, Lance Stroll, and Sergio Perez.

The next race will be at Monza for the Gran Premio Heineken D'italia on the 6th of September.
