Lewis Hamilton celebrated his first pole position since more than 18 months  - but found himself on position 4 after the first corner of the race and Max Verstappen was where he used to be in the past - in a comfortable lead …. Both McLarens of Lando Norris (2nd)and Oskar Piastri (5th) showed again a very strong performance. Sergio Perez came from position 7 on the grid on the podium by finishing 3rd. While Lewis was not happy with 4th place his teammate George Russel was becaus ehe had to start from 18th and finished 6th…. Disappointing results for Ferrari als 7th and 8th ahead for Aston Martin 9th and 10th…. No championship points for Daniel Ricciardo who came back after missing 10 races but showed a good performance. The next race will take place already on the next weekend in Spa Francorchamps.
