Max Verstappen has done it again! The Dutch driver has won the Belgian Grand Prix, extending his championship lead over Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez.
Verstappen started the race from pole position and was able to maintain his lead throughout the race. He was able to fend off a late charge from Perez, who was able to close the gap in the final laps. However, Verstappen was able to hold on and take the checkered flag for the win.
The victory marks Verstappen’s fourth win of the season and his third in a row. He now has a commanding lead in the championship standings, with a 27-point gap over Perez. It is the first time that Verstappen has been able to extend his lead over his teammate in the championship standings this season.
The win also marks Verstappen’s second win at the Belgian Grand Prix, having previously won in 2016. It is his sixth career win at the track, making him the most successful driver at the circuit.
Verstappen’s performance at the Belgian Grand Prix was impressive, as he was able to stay ahead of Perez despite the Mexican driver’s late charge. It is clear that Verstappen is in a league of his own this season and is well on his way to winning the championship.
The next race on the calendar is the Italian Grand Prix, which takes place on September 5th. It will be interesting to see if Verstappen can continue his winning streak and extend his championship lead even further.
