Race report

Wearing a black armband as he stood on the top step of a Formula One podium for the first time in his career, Charles Leclerc pointed to the sky to acknowledge Anthoine Hubert, the young French driver killed at Spa-Francorchamps on Saturday.

There was no customary champagne-spraying. The motor racing world was in mourning.

"On one hand a childhood dream has been realised," Leclerc said. "On the other hand it has been a very difficult weekend. I have lost a friend. I would like to dedicate my first win to him."
