The Belgian Grand Prix start has been delayed due to wet weather at Spa-Francorchamps, but the FIA has issued a crucial clarification once the race gets underway, teams and drivers will still have a three-hour window to complete the Grand Prix.

Former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson ripped the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix race director after fans were denied wet-weather racing.

Oscar Piastri passed McLaren team-mate Lando Norris on the first racing lap of a wet-dry Belgian Grand Prix to take his sixth victory of the year and extend his championship lead. The Australian swept past Norris as the race started after an hour-and-a-half delay for heavy rain and two laps behind the safety car and controlled the race from there.
