The Dutchman won, between his own successes and the mistakes of others (mainly from Ferrari), eight of the 13 races held this year and his favoritism to be champion is immense, since he could not win more and take the crown: he need only finish second in each race to achieve it.
However, beyond the difference made in the championships, on the track the battle is greater: Ferrari always has the potential to win, even if they don’t know how to exploit it, and Mercedes has five consecutive races on the podium with Lewis Hamilton and even put his two cars in the top three on the last two dates of the calendar.

However, this may be the last Formula 1 race at this legendary track Belgian with more than 100 years of history: more than 50 Grands Prix have been held at Spa-Francorchamps, but There is no contract renewal yet for the 2023 season and with the confirmed arrivals of Las Vegas and Qatar, the Belgian GP is at risk, also with a poor record like the 2021 GP in which there was no direct action in the rain.
