Ollie Bearman may need to reconsider his summer break plans again – to come back to the small Swedish town of Varberg, where he already spent a few days ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix.

Championship leader Oscar Piastri took pole by almost half a second over Max Verstappen; despite running with more downforce than the Red Bull and thus losing time in the opening sector, Piastri got on level terms out …Keep reading

Mercedes equalled its worst-ever result in 350 Formula 1 qualifying sessions ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix sprint race, which George Russell and Andrea Kimi Antonelli will start from 13th and 20th.
