2. Vettel & Perez go one up
As the field crumpled into each other behind them, Hamilton had to duel with Vettel as soon as they got past Eau Rouge and into Raidillion. The straight line speed of the Ferrari won, and in a daring maneuver, the German driver managed to get past the world championship leader and take the lead of the race.
If one brave overtake wasn't enough, we also saw Esteban Ocon and Sergio Perez make a move on the two championship leaders and each other. While the Pink Panthers didn't manage to get past the Ferrari or Mercedes, Perez did take advantage of the situation, and jumped Ocon to temporarily take third.
While the spot wouldn't last too long as Verstappen would soon come and get past both of them, it was encouraging to see the two Force Indias battle each other, and for a split second, even the two leaders.
