The final result from the 2026 F1 Belgian Grand Prix has been confirmed by the FIA, after a late verdict for Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton.

Pole sitter Kimi Antonelli stormed to victory at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, with Hamilton's team-mate Charles Leclerc finishing second and four-time champion Max Verstappen third.

Hamilton finished fourth in the race, but was under investigation by FIA race stewards for an alleged unsafe release which saw the seven-time world champion hit a Ferrari mechanic with his car. Fortunately, the mechanic was unhurt.

After the race, an FIA verdict confirmed that Ferrari had been penalised for the unsafe release, but through a hefty €30,000 fine, rather than a sporting penalty for Hamilton. €10,000 of Ferrari's fine is suspended for 12 months barring they don't commit a similar offence.

It means that Hamilton keeps his fourth position, and he rises above Mercedes' George Russell and into second in the drivers' championship.

McLaren's Oscar Piastri rounded out the top five, while Red Bull's Isack Hadjar finished a brilliant sixth having started all the way down in 21st.
