# Motorsport: Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli won his sixth race of the season at the Belgian Grand Prix. The 19-year-old Italian fought back from losing position during a virtual safety-car period to pass Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and become the first driver in five years to convert pole position into a victory at Spa-Francorchamps. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen finished third. Antonelli has increased his championship title lead over Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton to 45 points and over his teammate George Russell, who was taken out in a collision on the first lap, to 50 points.
