At 3 p.m. the lights went out at Spa-Francorchamps for the first race after the summer break. Max Verstappen was in a class of its own in qualifying on Saturday, but only started the race from thirteenth due to an engine change, with competitor Charles Leclerc next to him. The many Dutch fans in the stands naturally hope that the Dutch world champion and World Cup leader can make it a spectacular catch-up race on the iconic circuit in the Ardennes. In any case, Verstappen had a good start.
