How F1's points standings look after the 2024 F1 Belgian GP
Piastri remains Formula 1’s form man and passes Sainz for fourth in points; McLaren closes further on Red Bull’s constructors’ lead
Mercedes’ 1-2 result in Formula 1's Belgian Grand Prix initially closed the gap on its rivals in the constructors' championship, before George Russell was stripped of his win.
Even with team-mate Lewis Hamilton inheriting the win, Mercedes remains in fourth place in the teams' standings heading into the summer break.
As F1 enters its mid-season summer break, Max Verstappen extended his drivers’ championship lead for Red Bull over McLaren’s Lando Norris – despite his 10-place grid penalty in Spa that restricted him to fifth place.
Norris’s first corner slip-up proved costly, on a day when he not only failed to capitalise on Verstappen’s penalty but actually lost ground to his title rival.
Perhaps most significantly, Red Bull has been outscored by all its three nearest rivals in the past two races, and its points lead has been slashed in recent races to 43 over McLaren.

Ferrari remains third in the championship, 79 clear of Mercedes, as Aston Martin is best of the rest with 73 points.
