There is always a lot to talk in the world of non-stop of Formula 1, and FlashScore’s Finley Crebolder gives your thoughts about the biggest stories moving around the rowers in this regular column.

It can be one of the largest circles in the world, but it is fair to say that the spa this time did not produce goods, and 2025 edition Belgian Grand Prix is what will be quickly forgotten.

It is largely because FIA was far away, too careful in deciding to postpone the start of the race until the rain was killed, but that the trail was somewhat given the multiple tragic deaths in the past few years, so I will not hold back too much.

In addition, with the existence of another battle between the front rivals, exciting charges from the back of the network and huge development from the trail, we are not short at talks.

In the battle with Tanterjust Norris‘The best is good enough

The story of the fight since 2025. It seemed to be potentially changed in British Grand Prix, but F1 leaves Belgium with her very renovated: Lando Norris’ is the best enough but only the best.

It looked like it might not be a case that would not relieve consistently consistent Oscar Piatra finally put his leg incorrectly in Silverstone, cocoing too hard behind the security car and picked up the penalty defeated Norris. Did the pressure finally come to him? Was that a sign of things? Well, short, no.

Norris produced an excellent circle to beat his teammate on a gender position, but did not do the best start of the race, and that was all that Piatri needed to win. He has indecided his rival without too many problems, Norris made a few small mistakes trying to persecute him, and that was it.

We have seen several times this season that when Norris has at best, he has a pace to beat Piatri, but the consistency of the Championship leader requires that Brit is in his best week, and he simply does not look capable of it.

Can still win the title but feels like he will have to produce an incredibly impeccable ride form that we really saw Max Verstappen In recent years if done.

The best and worst of aging Lewis Hamilton

Far and more fun part of the race watched Lewis Hamilton Fight Pass through Vintage drive, but we saw the worst as well as the best driver who is in Belgium today.

In 40. years, he was a different driver for the one who dominated the sport for years, and we saw nebulations in the main race qualification on Saturday. He just doesn’t have an open tempo for beating teammates Charles LeclercAnd in his efforts to do so, he pushed too hard and made a mistake that he made him start at the back of the field.

However, what followed a master in overtaking that he may not be able to produce even in his prime minister. He used his years of experience to find adhesive conditions and wait for the right time to move, showing precision and patience that many of his younger rivals are missing.

Like a race craft, he obviously has the working rate for the winning title, as shown in the beginning of the weekend that spent three weeks between the racing meeting and the documents prepared by the team structure and their car from 2025. Years.

Mention of that Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel They both failed to win the title on Ferrari, said, “I refuse to be the case with me, so I’m going to the extra mile.”

It is interesting that he did not specify that he was talking about the Driver Championship, and he spent more time to talk about the team’s improvement, so I can’t imagine the final goal of his Ferrari that Ferrari received the first first construction center in almost 20 years.

Max Mercedes moves from the table, and most likely title 2026 with her

Long term, the highest moment of the race can show that one that does not seem especially noticeable on the person value: Max Verstappen crosses the target line in the fourth, place in front George Russell.

It has long been rumored to be a betrayed clause in Verstappen’s contract if he entered the summer break outside the first three tables, and now is not the possibility of this year, the reliable sources of Telegraaf and the race that will keep in order.

This puts the end to all the conversation of Dutchman who can join the Mercedes for the next season, and most likely put on their chances of adding another title in his belt next year.

It is an open secret at the moment the Mercedes engine will use the German team and McLaren, will be the best online 2026. years and quite comfortable. Moreover, the Red Bull unit of electricity is unlikely to be another year, considering that the first year of their internal project with Ford will be.

The engines are not all, but it is likely to lack a teammate to help him in the front of the field and teams that lack a proven leader with Laurent Mekies, just replace that things can’t look good.

Now the ability to spend the royal champions in the next year, trying to secure the seat in 2027. years – most likely to Mercedes or Aston Martin, depending on how Adrian Newey there – while picking up an unusual stand.

Whether for good or just a few years, Era Maxer Verstappen seems very much.
