F1 Results Today: Hamilton suffers Belgian Grand Prix misery as Norris thrashed by team-mate

Ferrari's F1 upgrades failed to improve Lewis Hamilton's pace during FP1 at the Belgian Grand Prix this weekend in the first and only practice session at Spa.

The seven-time world champion only managed the seventh fastest time before he reported a loss of power towards the end of Friday's practice.

Meanwhile, a mistake from Lando Norris on his soft runs ensured the Brit was eclipsed by his team-mate Oscar Piastri, who set the fastest time in the first practice session ahead of reigning champion Max Verstappen.

La Source caught several cars out in FP1, where multiple drivers ran off the track after a lockup at the first hairpin.

FP1 also got off to a nightmare start for Williams star Carlos Sainz, who couldn't even complete his out lap before he was forced to return to the garage due to a fuel systems issue.

The Spaniard lost crucial running in the only practice session of the weekend, but luckily managed to return to the track for the final 30 minutes of practice.

Here are the results from the first and only practice session at the Belgian Grand Prix!
