SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium — Max Verstappen dominated the Formula One season last year and it was no different at the Belgian Grand Prix where he collected an eighth straight victory. But one year later he is in what's looking like a real fight to maintain his quest for a fourth world title. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are flying in their McLarens and have erased the speed advantage of Verstappen's Red Bull. The McLaren pair topped practice in Spa on Friday. Verstappen also faces a 10-place grid penalty at Sunday's race for an engine change. The Dutchman has gone three races without a win for the first time since 2021.
