2023 F1 Belgian Grand Prix - Sprint Race - as it happened

Leclerc makes a mistake on his lap.

Gasly takes provisional pole over Perez.

A 1m50.303s for the Mexican. Big lap as the track continues to ramp up.

Good lap from the Alpine.

Hamilton, Verstappen, Norris, Leclerc, Piastri, Sainz, Russell, Perez, Gasly and Ocon.

A 1m51.198s for Hamilton - a tenth ahead of Verstappen.

A 1m51.546s for Norris - 1.0s clear of Leclerc.

Everyone on softs - this should be fun.

10 drivers left to fight it out for pole.

No doubt, soft tyres will be the choice.

A small delay due to the repair to the track following Stroll's shunt.

Stroll lost control of his Aston Martin after gambling on the slicks. 

A 1m55.200s for the reigning world champion. 0.6s clear of Hamilton.

Stroll is the only driver out there on the slicks.

A 1m55.823s for the seven-time world champion. 

No sign of Alonso or Albon yet - will we see dry tyres from them?

He's 0.8s ahead of Ricciardo now.

A big 2.5s improvement for Ricciardo compared to SQ1.

We might see slicks this session. It has to be an early call tough.

Wouldn't be a surprise to see slick tyres in SQ3 for sure.

Ricciardo and Norris take to the track.

Leclerc goes third as Sargeant moves into sixth. 

A lot more times to come though.

Norris, Stroll, Sargeant, Magnussen and Hulkenberg are in the drop-zone currently. 

No further investigation needed on Hamilton potentially impeding Verstappen.

Impeding, say the FIA at Turn 8. 

The times continue to drop as Sainz sets a 1m59.981s, 0.3s ahead of Verstappen.
