Max Verstappen came from 14th on the grid to sensationally win the Belgian Grand Prix on what proved a disastrous afternoon for Lewis Hamilton.
Despite taking a grid penalty for exceeding the permitted number of power unit changes, the Red Bull man showed the same searing pace he did in practice and qualifying as he quickly cut through the field to lead. Teammate Sergio Perez was second, with Ferrari's Carlos Sainz only managing third after starting on pole.
But it was a nightmare afternoon for Lewis Hamilton, who started fourth on the grid as he benefitted from the six driver penalties handed out. That was one place behind old rival Fernando Alonso, and it was the British driver who came off worse when the two veterans collided on the opening lap.
