Sebastian Vettel wins the Belgian Grand Prix for the second time ever and he made it look easy.
Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton started from pole for the fourth race in succession after coming through a thrilling wet-dry qualifying on Saturday. Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel started alongside him on row one while Mark Webber started third for Red Bull, with the second Mercedes of Nico Rosberg fourth.
Paul di Resta, who for much of Q3 had looked set for pole, is fifth, alongside McLaren’s Jenson Button and the two Lotus cars and the two Ferraris completed the top ten.
In the end Vettel wins in style at Spa-Francorchamps, almost 17 seconds clear of the hard-charging Alonso, who comes from ninth on the grid to finish second while pole man Hamilton completes the podium in third, just ahead of Mercedes team mate Rosberg.
