Antonelli wins Spa: sixth of the season, the lead grows again
19 July. 1:24:42.479. Leclerc second. Verstappen third. The Silverstone dent gets an answer.
Why this race matters
Title races are not won at Silverstone when you finish 15th. They are not lost there either if you win Spa seven days later. Kimi Antonelli won the Belgian Grand Prix in 1:24:42.479. Charles Leclerc was 1.952 behind. Max Verstappen 11.586 behind. Sixth win of 2026.
What actually happened
RaceFans logged the victory as another extension of the championship lead. Sky Sports has the same podium: Antonelli, Leclerc, Verstappen. The 2026 regulations were billed as the biggest changes ever. Mercedes has been the answer. Antonelli has been the name on the answers.
What it changes
Hungary would go to Norris. Zandvoort would go to Norris. Monza would go to Antonelli from 19th. Spa is the Sunday that made Silverstone a dent instead of a collapse.
