Rosberg’s win closes F1 gap

Nico Rosberg won an incident-packed Belgian Grand Prix featuring a chaotic start, wild overtaking, a heavy crash, safety cars and a red flag. The Mercedes driver’s win on Sunday saw him close the gap to nine points on teammate Lewis Hamilton, who finished third behind Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo as the resurgent Australian driver secured a third straight podium finish. “It’s been a great weekend, very, very happy with that result,” Rosberg said after his 20th career win and first in Spa. “Congrats to Lewis, last place to third must be pretty impressive.”
