SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium—Defending Formula One champion Max Verstappen enters the mid-season break in unstoppable form, after emphatically winning the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday for an eighth straight win and 10th overall of a crushingly dominant season.

Despite starting from sixth place he finished 22.3 seconds ahead of teammate Sergio Perez to give Red Bull an easy 1–2. It moved Verstappen ominously closer to a third straight world title and his own F1 record of 15 wins from last year.
