Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix Live Streaming: Max Verstappen will have a 10-place grid penalty to fight back from in the final Formula 1 race before the summer break, in the Belgian Grand Prix. Having taken pole position in qualifying, Verstappen will start from P11, having changed his power unit set and crossed his allocation, thereby receiving the penalty. Charles Leclerc qualified second, and will inherit pole position for the Belgian GP. Verstappen’s Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez will start alongside Leclerc on the front row. Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton will start third, while Lando Norris – the closest man to Verstappen in the championship – will start fourth.
Carlos Sainz was eighth in the second Ferrari in front of compatriot and two-time champion Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin, Esteban Ocon of Alpine and Alex Albon of Williams — who will be 10th on the grid ahead of Verstappen.
“It was a nice qualifying and luckily the weather was ok,” said Verstappen, referring to earlier heavy rain that turned final practice into a washout. “It was raining a little bit, but we could do a decent session.
“I know I have to start 10 places back so this was the best I could do today and we’ll go from there. I don’t know quick we are going to be, but I hope we can be in the mix.”
