3. Verstappen charges to third
As great a sight as it was to see the two newly branded 'Racing Point Force India' cars in 3rd and 4th, it was never going to be a sight to last. Ocon and Perez put up a great fight at the beginning of the race, but the flying Dutchman charged ahead of them as quickly as he could.
First off, Max took on Ocon, building a run into Eau Rouge and eventually sunk right behind Ocon into Raidillion. Ocon tried to hold the inside line, but Verstappen swooped right round him and got the move done, pushing him one step closer to a podium in Belgium.
Next up, Verstappen closed in on the Mexican driver aggressively. Perez would have known that his race was with the Haas's rather than the Red Bull. Verstappen picked his place into Les Combes and took Perez over from the outside, putting himself in position to grab P3 at what is essentially his home race.
