Red Bull's Max Verstappen won Formula One's shortest race on Sunday with the rain-hit Belgian Grand Prix red-flagged after three laps behind the safety car and half-points awarded for only the sixth time ever.

Seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton was third for Mercedes and the Briton's overall lead over Verstappen was cut from eight points to three. Red Bull's Sergio Perez crashed out on the way to the grid and appeared to be out of the race but stewards allowed the Mexican driver to start from the pitlane after his team used the prolonged rain delay to complete repairs.Daniel Ricciardo was fourth for McLaren ahead of Sebastian Vettel in his Aston Martin with Pierre Gasly sixth for AlphaTauri and fellow-Frenchman Esteban Ocon seventh for Renault-owned Alpine.

The governing FIA's race provisional race classification gave the positions after lap one, explaining that this was in accordance with the sporting regulations.
