With one of his most successful races on tap it is a perfect time to ask: Will Lewis Hamilton win a Grand Prix this season?

Heavy rain delayed the start for about an hour, and in the wet conditions, Lewis Hamilton excelled, working his way through the pack from the back to finish seventh. His Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc rounded up the podium, seeing off Max Verstappen, who had to settle for fourth.

Fred Vasseur joked that Lewis Hamilton was “engineering the car” as the Ferrari driver put in an epic recovery drive at the Belgian Grand Prix, gaining 10 places. Up until Sunday, Hamilton had been having a wretched time at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit where he suffered a double Q1 elimination for the Sprint weekend.
