1hr 10 mins to lights out: Max Verstappen, as has been the case for much of the season, has been in a class of his own this weekend. However, a grid penalty for using too many engine parts - the reigning world champion is one of six drivers to have been punished - means he must start down in 14th. The world champion is extending his first stint on the track and pushing for a one-stop strategy. Hamilton and the Mercedes garage crew were apparently burning the midnight oil to try and find some solutions on the eve of the race, but the story of an unsatisfactory 2022 looks set to continue. At the bus stop chicane, Verstappen nips around Ricciardo and is up into sixth from 14th on the grid. Lap 12: Sainz dives into the pits and is back out in sixth, stuck behind Ricciardo. Lap 17: Vettel makes a nice pass on Albon to get his Aston Martin up into eighth, while Ocon gets around Ricciardo to go up into the final points position. He's back out in the lead and it should be a procession for him from this point. Verstappen is about to disappear from the field. "He was in my blindspot," he said, before apologising to the Mercedes team. Sainz holds off Russell to complete the podium and Leclerc at least manages to get back past Alonso to claim fifth position. A 10th-placed start in Hungary, 14th here and the result was inevitably the same.

F1 in 2022 was supposed to be more exciting than ever, but the days of single driver dominance are back. Max Verstappen on the podium in Belgium.

“Would you like new mediums to go through the traffic or new hards?” Leclerc was asked during the race when the team’s calculations predicted a fifth place finish. Verstappen heads to the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort next Sunday with a 93-point lead over team-mate Perez and 98 ahead of Charles Leclerc. Both Red Bull team principal Christian Horner and Verstappen expressed surprise at the outcome, neither party anticipating the ease with which the race would be won. - Esteban Ocon – Alpine – +1:15.640 - Charles Leclerc – Ferrari – +1:14.936 - Fernando Alonso – Alpine – +1:16.256 - Carlos Sainz – Ferrari – +26.866 Moreover the new regulations have inadvertently stripped the contest of the intensity that we saw last season when between them Verstappen and Hamilton fashioned one of the great finales. Whilst from a technical point of view the return of ground effect aerodynamics has made it easier for the cars to follow each other and thus to overtake, the performance advantage inherent in Verstappen’s Red Bull has rendered the new rules irrelevant. It appears deeply ironic now that the aero changes introduced this term were brought in to improve the racing. Over the remaining eight races it would be extraordinary were Verstappen not to reset the number for most wins in a season, presently held by Schumacher and Vettel on 13. Either side of Formula One’s summer break Verstappen has pummelled the field to transport the sport, not towards the spectacular future for which all hoped when its governing body the FIA ushered in radical regulation changes, but back to the days of single driver dominance.
