Formula One championship leader Max Verstappen roared to a crushing eighth win in a row, one short of the all-time record, in a Red Bull one-two with Sergio Perez at the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday.
Red Bull's 13th consecutive victory made the team the first in the sport's 73-year history to win the opening 12 races of a season, one more than McLaren managed in 1988 with Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost.
Verstappen, who started sixth after a five-place grid penalty, extended his championship lead over Perez to 125 points -- effectively five races -- after taking the chequered flag 22.3 seconds ahead of the Mexican.

| Reuters |
Red Bull's Formula One leader Max Verstappen pipped Australian rookie Oscar Piastri to pole position for Saturday's sprint race at the Belgian Grand Prix after a rain-delayed and red-flagged qualifying shootout.
McLaren's Piastri had been on top of the timesheets until the final seconds when double world champion Verstappen went 0.011 quicker with a lap of one minute 49.056 seconds on a drying track.
Ferrari's Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc will share the second row.
The standalone sprint format is being used at Spa for the first time, the third of six such events this season.
