ESPN journalists Albert Fabrega and Juan Fossaroli join Tom Clarkson in the Spa paddock to dissect another huge weekend in the title fight between McLaren teammates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris at the Belgian Grand Prix.

Piastri went into the weekend eight points clear of Lando at the top of the Drivers’ Standings, but after beating him in both the Sprint and Grand Prix, that advantage has now doubled to 16 points. How did Oscar ‘lure’ him into that crucial overtake on the first lap of racing? Did ‘little errors’ prove too costly for Lando? Or should McLaren have double stacked their pit stop to give him a better chance of fighting for the win?

Charles Leclerc secured his fifth podium of the season with P3. How much was Ferrari’s performance down to their eagerly anticipated new rear suspension? What do the guys make of a rollercoaster weekend for Lewis Hamilton?

And with Max Verstappen winning the Sprint and finishing P4, what will new Red Bull Team Principal Laurent Mekies take away from his first Grand Prix in charge of the team? Will Max be encouraged by his own performance as Red Bull's new era gets underway?
