Hamilton unbeatable in Ferrari fiasco in Belgium

Before the Italian weeks with the Scuderia's 1000th race, Ferrari had a disastrous weekend in Belgium. Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel finished 13th in the lame red racing car on Sunday. Teammate Charles Leclerc only finished 14th. In a class of their own: Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas in their Silver Arrows. © APA/afp / JOHN THYS

The two Ferraris were well over a minute away from Hamilton, who was victorious again. In his 89th triumph, the six-time world champion relegated his Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas from Finland and Red Bull man Max Verstappen from the Netherlands to second and third place. With his fifth victory in the seventh race of the season, the 35-year-old Brit further extended his lead in the World Championship standings. Mega crash by Giovinazzi – Ferrari even inferior to Alfa Romeo Even a restart after a serious accident, which Antonio Giovinazzi and George Russell (his car was badly damaged by a flying tire) survived unscathed, unlike their Willams and Alfa Romeo racing cars, didn't bother Hamilton. After the track was reopened after the accident, the Silver Arrows pulled away. Things got bitter for Vettel and Leclerc.

Former teammate Kimi Räikkönen raced past Vettel in the Alfa Romeo and then out of sight. Instead of competing for podium places in his last year with Ferrari, the German fought for positions in no man's land outside the points. The Ferrari's weak engine was hopelessly inferior on the high-speed track.

A pit stop even threw Leclerc back to last place. “Why did I have to stop again?” the youngster radioed to his team questioningly and with little understanding. “We’ll tell you later,” was Ferrari’s unsatisfactory answer. The racing team later announced that it was a technical precaution. The result of the Belgian GP.
