The Alpine are currently 6th and 7th: with the McLarens out of the top 10, the French team could increase its lead among the constructors to 18 points!

Superb battle between Vettel, Gasly and Ocon! The German passes Gasly before Raidillon, but loses the DRS. The three drivers were three abreast in the Kemmel straight, and it was Ocon who passed in front by going to the outside on Gasly! Vettel passes Gasly in the Brussels bend! Gorgeous !
