The Brit proved too good during qualifying as he pipped out Piastri with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen lining up on the second row.

Norris is chasing his third straight victory and his fifth on the season, a feat that would match Piastri who’s last victory came in Spain at the start of June.

While track conditions have been dry over the course of the weekend, the race is set to unfold in wet conditions with the heavens opening above the famous Spa-francorchamps circuit.

Don’t miss a second of the action with the lights set to go out from 11pm (AEST).
