F1 Belgian GP live commentary and updates - Race

GOODBYE FOR NOW

Well that's it for our live coverage from Belgium. Join us again on Friday as the Hungarian Grand Prix provides the last track action before the (short) summer break.

Today's result brings Antonelli to 204 points in the drivers' championship. At the time of writing, Hamilton has leapfrogged George Russell for P2 with 159 points to 154; even if he loses a place owing to the unsafe release from his pitstop, he will still be ahead.

Here's our full report from the race.

So that's a sixth victory of the year for Kimi Antonelli; a great birthday present for his father.

Into the last lap - and, crucially, through the overtake mode detection zone - Hadjar has over a second in hand on Norris, denying him the power boost.

This has been a remarkable under-the-radar performance by Hadjar.

Antonelli looks like he's in the clear with one more lap to go - now 2.4s ahead of Leclerc.

Norris now 1.2s behind Hadjar.

Norris sets another fastest lap on lap 41 of 44 - but Hadjar, at the same time, records his best lap of the race. 2s separate them now in the battle for P6.

Piastri is currently 2.5s off Hamilton, who in turn is 3.6s off Verstappen. But Lewis isn't making serious inroads into Max's margin of advantage.

Piastri told to stay close to Hamilton, given the likelihood of a post-race penalty.

Antonelli has been given a reminder that he's picked up two warnings for track limits. Leclerc has been gaining on him a little in sector two and putting him under pressure there.

Hamilton slipstreams past Piastri towards Les Combes to claim P4.

Leclerc is given a bit of gentle encouragement by race engineer Bryan Bozzi, who says "It's not over." Charles has fallen out of one-second range of Antonelli but he's still clinging on gamely.

Norris sets a new fastest lap on lap 38 of 44 - now 4.6s away from Hadjar.

Bortoleto managed to undercut Lindblad and Lawson during the earlier VSC shenanigans but Lindblad is now within 2.2s of him in P8.

Piastri has fallen off Verstappen - now 3s behind. And Hamilton is on the cusp of getting within a second of him.

Hadjar pushing hard - he's just had a lap deleted for a track-limits infringement.

Norris sets the fastest lap of the race on lap 35 of 44. He's 7.1s off Hadjar.

In P3 and P4, meanwhile, Verstappen and Piastri are separated by two seconds. That gap has been fluctuating gently as they take the odd couple of tenths off one another, but Hamilton is now creeping up on them by a few tenths a lap.

Hamilton needs to push since he's likely to pick up another penalty post-race for that pitlane incident - he's currently got 8.7s in hand over Hadjar.

Antonelli has been warned that Leclerc has been "squeezing" cars at Les Combes but hat doesn't dissuade him from hanging it around the outside and reclaiming the lead.

Leclerc nearly tripped over the sole remaining Cadillac at the exit of Stavelot. Antonelli had a much easier run past Bottas. The gap is now 0.4s.

Norris manages to get by Bortoleto at the exit of Raidillon. 

Antonelli gets within a second of Leclerc.

Norris pits but it's a slow change for the left rear and he emerges behind Bortoleto in P8.

Epic scenes at Les Combes! Gasly makes a play on Lawson for P10 but Colapinto exploits the double slipstream to slot ahead of them both.

At this rate, when Norris pits he'll come out between Hadjar and Bortoleto (currently P7 and P8).

"I don't want any yo-yo racing with Oscar," Norris is told. "I'll explain why later."

We'll see how it pans out in this new battle between the McLaren teammates. Remember when the 'papaya rules' were a thing?

Verstappen nails Norris for P3 at Les Combes. Now it's Piastri's turn...

Antonelli now 2.2s off Leclerc - his chase lost a little momentum while he was lapping Alonso.

Hamilton in P6 is falling away from the leaders at six or seven tenths a lap, no doubt as a consequence of not getting that wing adjustment - plus the damage he's carrying from that opening-lap knock with Russell.

Well on lap 26 Antonelli took nearly six tenths out of Leclerc.

There is an interesting battle going on for the final points position. Lawson (P10) has fallen nearly 10s behind teammate Lindblad – they had quite a physical battle for position immediately after their pitstops – and has Hulkenberg, Gasly and Colapinto in close attendance. Gasly has just got past Hulkenberg for P11 and Colapinto is looking to seize his moment too.

Antonelli gets by Norris at Les Combes but Leclerc is now 3s up the road.

Hamilton's 'unsafe release' will be investigated after the race. He has been on the radio querying whether he received a wing adjustment at the stop, and has been told it didn't happen. That would explain why the mechanic was where he was - potential miscommunication in the Ferrari pit.

Norris now making life difficult for Antonelli.

So Red Bull clearly decided the VSC had spoiled its Plan A for Hadjar, and took advantage of the opportunity for a cheap pitstop. Iasck now running on the hards he did one lap on at the start of the race.

Verstappen complaining he has "no grip" on the hards.

That pitlane incident for Hamilton as been 'noted'.

Leclerc swoops on Norris for the lead on the run to Les Combes.
