Verstappen takes rainy Belgian GP

-

Max Verstappen won a rain-soaked Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorcha­mps, Belgium, when it

was finally called off Sunday after it restarted under a safety car nearly three hours later than its scheduled time.

The race was shortened to one hour with only half points awarded to the winner, who needed to complete only two laps to earn points.

Verstappen was leading Williams driver George Russell and Mercedes star Lewis Hamilton on Lap 4 when the restarted race ended after roughly 10 minutes with rain still lashing down.
