Verstappen was in imperious form as he might light work of his comeback c༺harge, though he did have a fright when he had a big wobble throug🍌h the high-speed Eau Rouge corner as light rain fell mid-way through the race. 

The Dutchman managed to 💞collect his car through the flat-out swerves and was untroubled from there as he claimed his 10th victory from 12 races so far this season. 

Speaking after Sunday’s race, the two-time world champion explained: “The rain was just moving aroun✱d on the track. Sometimes it was increasing in other places from lap to lap.
