    George Russell held off Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton to win the Belgian Grand Prix following a thrilling finale at Spa-Francorchamps.

    Hamilton looked set to follow up his victory at Silverstone three weeks ago with another visit to the winner’s enclosure after he assumed the lead of the race on lap three of 44.

    But Russell, who started sixth, had other plans and he adopted a bold one-stop strategy to outfox his rivals and claim just the third victory of his career.

    Russell crossed the line a mere half-a-second ahead of Hamilton, with McLaren’s Oscar Piastri third and only six-tenths behind the runner-up. Ferrari pole-sitter Charles Leclerc took fourth place.
