How F1’s points standings look after the 2024 F1 Belgian GP



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.

Piastri has overtaken Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz for fourth in points, with the Spaniard now only 12 points clear of Hamilton.

Sergio Perez’s slump from the front row to finish seventh in Belgium sees him now 146 behind team-mate Verstappen.
