The F1 title race is well underway and seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton is in the mix as he hunts down that illusive eighth victory.

Now 41 years old, Hamilton has finally settled in at Ferrari and since taking his first grand prix win in red at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix in June, has helped the Scuderia to gain on championship leaders Mercedes.

But Hamilton suffered a frustrating afternoon in Spa, finishing down in fourth after a clumsy race while championship leader Kimi Antonelli got back to winning ways after a late pass on Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.
