Summary
Kimi Antonelli stunned the grid with pole position at the Belgian Grand Prix, edging out Max Verstappen by a razor-thin three-tenths of a second in a nail-biting qualifying session. Lando Norris, who initially led, faces a grid penalty and starts further back, while Russell and Leclerc lurk close behind. Drama unfolded as Verstappen narrowly avoided disaster on his final lap, and penalties—including a massive grid drop for Isack Hadjar—reshuffled the lineup dramatically. With Antonelli on top and chaos brewing behind him, Spa promises a high-stakes, strategy-driven showdown. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
