Verstappen wins rain-soaked Belgian GP
The race was red-flagged on the second lap due to heavy rain and was eventually called off after just three laps behind the safety car.
Verstappen was declared the winner ahead of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton.
The race started behind the safety car in heavy rain, and it quickly became clear that conditions were too dangerous to race. The safety car remained out for three laps, before the race was red-flagged. After a delay of over two hours, the race was eventually called off.
Verstappen was declared the winner as he had led the race at the time it was stopped. Russell finished second, with Hamilton third. It was Verstappen's seventh win of the season, and it extended his lead in the drivers' championship to 93 points.
The race was a disappointment for the fans, but it was the right decision to call it off. The conditions were simply too dangerous to race in.
