1. Lewis Hamilton (McLaren), 1h 29m 04.268s; 2. Mark Webber (Red Bull), 1h 29m 05.839s; 3. Robert Kubica (Renault), 1h 29m 07.761s Q: Lewis, brilliant win but not without its nervy moments. Lewis Hamilton: No. It was a great weekend. Very, very tough race for me. I think same for everyone but praying just for a race that went smoothly. But with the tricky conditions when it started to rain, losing temperature in the tyres and not really knowing how much you can push in each corner. I braked quite late and locked my wheel and went wide at turn eight and jeez, the Lord definitely had his hand over me there as I was able to get away with it. Then staid ahead

Force India's Vitantonio Liuzzi has moved up from 11th to 10th place in the Belgian Grand Prix results after Toro Rosso's Jaime Alguersuari had 20 seconds added to his race time by the Spa stewards. Alguersuari was penalised for cutting the final chicane on lap 42, whilst defending from Liuzzi during their late-race battle. He failed to surrender the position following his mistake and was deemed to have gained at advantage...

McLaren's Lewis Hamilton won a dramatic Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday, leading throughout and beating Red Bull's Mark Webber by 1.5s, despite one agonising moment, as the rains came on lap 35 and he slid momentarily into the gravel. In the process, on a day when title rivals Jenson Button, Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso all failed to score, Hamilton moved back into the lead of the world championship...

BMW Sauber's Pedro de la Rosa will drop ten places on the grid for Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix after his team opted to change the engine on his C29 after Saturday's qualifying session. Each driver may use no more than eight engines during a championship season, and with the De la Rosa's new Ferrari V8 his ninth of the year, he has received a penalty...

Drivers: 1. Mark Webber (Red Bull), 1m 45.778s; 2. Lewis Hamilton (McLaren), 1m 45.863s; 3. Robert Kubica (Renault), 1m 46.100s Q: Mark, congratulations and Happy Birthday for yesterday. I take it the present you asked for most was a spot of rain just after you bagged provisional pole. Mark Webber: Yeah, we knew that the first lap was going to be pretty important as around here it is just so unpredictable. The weather yesterday and today has been very unique even for Spa to be honest as it has been so on and off. You know particularly in qualifying that every lap is important. First lap for me I was very happy with it but you just never know in this company if it is enough. But I pushed to the limit and it was enough for me to have pole half-way through the session

Fourth was Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel, ahead of McLaren's Jenson Button and Ferrari's Felipe Massa. Fernando Alonso was tenth...
