F1 Belgian GP live commentary and updates - race day

Charles Leclerc preserves third to convert his grid slot, beating Max Verstappen after a difficult fight early on with the intermediates. Russell finishes fifth, as Albon holds on to sixth over Hamilton.

Liam Lawson clinches eighth over Gabriel Bortoleto, as Pierre Gasly's train-driving antics have rewarded him with 10th place.

Leclerc on "never easy" defence against Verstappen

Leclerc on finishing third: "Max was behind all race within two seconds, so it's never easy. I knew the first part of the race was the trickiest for us as we didn't have the downforce. I'm pretty happy that we managed to keep that third place."

"The pressure is high, especially in those conditions as if you're 10-15cm out of the line it's greasy and you can do a very big mistake. At one point I told Bryan to leave me alone!" 

Norris: "I couldn't have won today"

Norris on second place: "Oscar just did a good job [at the start], nothing more to say, committed a bit more through Eau Rouge. That was it, nothing I could do after that point. Oscar deserved it today.

"It's shoulda-woulda-coulda; Oscar deserved and I'm sure he made a couple of mistakes too. I couldn't have won today. I'll review my things, it's our first 1-2 here for many years so I'll bring that back for the team."

Piastri: Lifting less than Lando key to lap 1 move

Piastri on winning the Belgian Grand Prix: "Lively, very lively! I knew that lap one was probably my best chance of winning the race. I lifted as little as I dared through Eau Rouge and then it was enough. The rest of the race we managed really well, maybe the medium wasn't the best in the last five-six laps."

"We had it mostly under control, which I wanted. I was pretty disappointed with myself after yesterday, but turns out starting second isn't too bad.

"I was a bit disappointed it was a rolling start as I thought it would take away some opportunity. But I got a good exit through Turn 1, and when I got close I knew I was going to lift a little bit less than Lando did."
