Formula 1: Russell Races To Thrilling Win As Mercedes Claim 1-2 In Belgian GP
Belgian Grand Prix: Mercedes driver George Russell secured a stunning victory after a daring strategy and a fierce battle with teammate Lewis Hamilton in the race's closing stages at the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday. Charles Leclerc, who started from pole position, had an impressive initial lead. However, within two laps, Hamilton overtook him, demonstrating his prowess at Spa-Francorchamps, a track where he had previously won four times.
While the majority of the field opted for a two-stop strategy, Russell made a bold decision to pit only once on Lap 10 of 44. This move required him to manage his aging hard tires as the race progressed, adding an element of suspense to the final laps.
Hamilton, closing in on his teammate, launched a thrilling chase but ultimately fell just short. Russell crossed the finish line a mere half-second ahead, securing the third F1 victory of his career and leading a Mercedes one-two.
