F1 Drivers' Championship Standings 2023 after the Belgian Grand Prix sprint race

Max Verstappen extended his lead in the drivers' championship by a further eight points in Saturday's sprint race, with team-mate Sergio Perez failing to finish.

Lower down the order, Carlos Sainz leapfrogged George Russell into fifth place and Oscar Piastri's seven points for second place in the sprint put him up into the top 10 of the championship.

Verstappen's points meant that Red Bull still have more than twice as many points as second-placed Mercedes, who could only finish seventh and eighth on Saturday.
