SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium (AP) — Oscar Piastri beat his McLaren teammate and title rival Lando Norris to win Formula 1's Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday after heavy rain delayed the start.

Piastri eased past his teammate and title rival Norris on the first racing lap after the safety car pulled into the pits on lap four, following a delay to the start of more than an hour.

Norris reduced Piastri's lead toward the end of the race but the Australian held on with worn tires and Norris couldn't get close enough to challenge.

Charles Leclerc was third for Ferrari after he kept Red Bull's Max Verstappen behind him all race.

On Saturday, Verstappen held off both McLarens to take the sprint win, with Piastri second and Norris third.
