Oscar Piastri scored his first Sprint pole of the season in a crushing performance in the Belgian Grand Prix qualifying session.<\/p>\n
A 1:40.510 was nearly half-a-second clear of Max Verstappen in second and 0.618s up on team-mate Lando Norris in third as Charles Leclerc was fourth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is Piastri’s third Sprint pole overall, and first not in Qatar having done so in 2023 and 2024, winning both times.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Lewis Hamilton will be only 18th following a rear-locking incident in SQ1.<\/p>\n
