Max Verstappen says he had to forget about tyre usage and drive "over the limit" to resist the faster McLaren of Oscar Piastri during Formula 1's Spa sprint race.
Verstappen passed polesitter Piastri on lap one, slipstreaming past the Australian championship leader on the long run up the Kemmel Straight and into Les Combes, which he deemed as his only shot at winning the 15-lap contest.
