Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton has moved to within seven points of Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel at the top of the Formula 1 driver rankings after winning the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday afternoon.
Vettel crossed the line in second position after failing to move past the Brit, while Daniel Ricciardo finished third as the Red Bull driver strengthened his grip on fourth place with his sixth podium of the season.
Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen and Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas made up the top five on an afternoon that brought Hamilton the 58th win of his now 200-race career.
