Race Summary
Lewis Hamilton dominated the Belgian Grand Prix from pole position, defeating Nico Rosberg and Romain Grosjean at Spa-Francorchamps. Hamilton controlled the race through the Ardennes circuit's challenging high-speed corners, demonstrating complete mastery to secure his seventh win of 2015. The victory extended his championship lead to a virtually unassailable margin with seven races remaining, putting him on the brink of his third world title.
The race featured Hamilton at his imperious best, managing tire strategy and race pace to perfection while keeping Rosberg comfortably behind. Grosjean's podium for Lotus was a welcome result for the beleaguered team, providing a rare bright spot in a difficult season plagued by financial troubles. Rosberg's fastest lap showed he had underlying pace but couldn't challenge Hamilton's superiority.
Hamilton's Belgian triumph moved him 28 points clear of Rosberg and effectively sealed the 2015 championship. The victory at Spa continued his dominant season and confirmed that barring disaster, he would claim his third title. For Rosberg, another second place was respectable but insufficient, as the championship was slipping beyond his reach with each passing race.
