Max Verstappen put on a show in the Red Bull at the 2022 Belgian Grand Prix, coming from 14th on the grid to take a dominant win at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps.
It looked as if we were in for a thrilling race in Belgium as a slew of engine penalties meant Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris and others were demoted to the back of the grid.
But Verstappen made light work of the field, and after just 12 laps he was at the front of the field.
Carlos Sainz, who was on pole in the Ferrari, had no answer for the pace of Verstappen, nor the pace of Sergio Perez in the sister Red Bull.
