F1 Drivers' Championship Standings 2023 after the Belgian Grand Prix

Max Verstappen extended his lead in the Formula 1 drivers' championship once again on Sunday afternoon, winning the Belgian Grand Prix from his team-mate Sergio Perez.

Perez strengthened his second place in the standings with his best result since the Miami Grand Prix, pulling away from Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton.

Just one point separates that pair in third and fourth now, but the top four did stay unchanged – unlike the places below them. Carlos Sainz's retirement saw him drop from fifth to seventh, with Charles Leclerc leapfrogging George Russell in sixth to replace him.

There were no major changes in the constructors' standings, but AlphaTauri did eke a step closer to the rest of the pack with their third point of the season.
