Dutch driver wins his 10th race this season as Pérez grabs second.
Max Verstappen continued his march towards another world championship as he cruised to his eighth straight victory, while teammate Sergio Pérez finished in second to make it a fifth one-two of the season for Oracle Red Bull Racing at the Belgian Grand Prix.
The Dutch ace started the race from fifth after being handed a grid penalty but eased his way to the front of the pack, overtaking Pérez on lap 17 and then steadily increasing his advantage before taking the chequered flag and securing his 10th win of the season.
Oracle Red Bull Racing have now won all 12 races this season, with Verstappen heading into the summer break with a 125 point title lead over his teammate. He will now have the chance to equal Sebastian Vettel’s mark of nine consecutive F1 wins in front of home fans when the season gets back underway at the end of August in Zandvoort.
Verstappen, 25, said: “I made the the right moves. I just got a little bit stuck in the beginning in a DRS Zone and once that cleared I could just do my own thing – really enjoyable.”
