Verstappen equals Alonso RECORD at Belgian Grand Prix

Max Verstappen has matched Fernando Alonso for Formula 1's all-time record of winning from nine different starting positions on the grid.

Heading into the Belgian Grand Prix, the only question that needed answering is just how big will Verstappen's winning margin be?

The Dutchman romped home in first place, 22 seconds clear of team-mate Sergio Perez. And after starting P6 on the grid – owing to a five-place grid penalty – Verstappen has just written his name in the history books once again.

F1 records equalled at Spa

Max Verstappen matched Fernando Alonso's F1 record at the Belgian Grand Prix

Before the race began, Verstappen had won from eight different positions (P1, P2, P3, P4, P7, P9, P10, and P14) during his time in F1.

Only Alonso had more variety to boast from, with Verstappen 'needing' to win from P5, P6, P8, P11, P12, P13 or lower than P14 to match the Spaniard's all-time record of nine wins from different starting positions.

And that is exactly what the two-time world champion did, as he drove a superb race to claim victory from P6.
