See how Norris beat Piastri to pole with our ‘Ghost Car’

Lando Norris claimed his fourth pole position of the season at the Belgian Grand Prix, narrowly besting his McLaren teammate and championship rival Oscar Piastri by just 0.085 seconds. This marks Norris's 13th career pole, positioning him strongly for a potential third consecutive Grand Prix victory. The McLaren driver had been edged out by Piastri in Sprint Qualifying, but found crucial pace when it mattered. With rain forecast for the main race, the unpredictable Spa-Francorchamps weather could play a significant role in Norris's pursuit of another win, adding an extra layer of challenge to his pole advantage.
