Final F1 Belgian Grand Prix 2023 results with all penalties applied

Max Verstappen took a dominant victory at the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday, helping secure Red Bull's first 1-2 finish since the Miami Grand Prix at the start of May – but Lewis Hamilton's flying final lap stole away the single point for the fastest lap.

Having started sixth on the grid, Verstappen cut his way through the field to take the lead well before half-distance and simply drove away from his team-mate Sergio Perez to take an eighth consecutive win.

The biggest drama in the race came at the very first corner, Carlos Sainz locking up and squeezing Oscar Piastri into the wall, damaging both cars. The Australian retired on track that lap, while Sainz continued to limp around for another 22 laps before pulling into the pits to end his own race.

Charles Leclerc beat out Lewis Hamilton for the final podium spot, while further down the standings Yuki Tsunoda picked up AlphaTauri's third point of the season.
