Charles Leclerc claimed the first Formula 1 victory of his young career in the Belgian Grand Prix and dedicated the win to friend Anthoine Hubert, who died following a crash on Saturday.
Hubert was killed after his car was hit side-on at around 160 miles per hour by Juan Manuel Correa's Sauber during a Formula 2 race on the same track."On one hand I've got a dream since I was a child that has been realized, but on the other hand, it's been a very difficult weekend since yesterday," Leclerc told Sky Sports. "We lost a friend first of all -- I would like to dedicate my first win to him.
22-year-old Formula 2 driver killed in crash 00:52"It was a poor start, I don't know why," Verstappen told Sky Sports."We'll look into that. I just braked a little later than the two cars ahead of me. I guess Kimi didn't expect me to be there anymore and we touched. That's racing, these things can happen."Leclerc's fast startLeclerc began his race in perfect fashion, expertly negotiating the first corner to maintain his lead.
