Formula 1 made its most recent stop to Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, which is tucked away in the densely wooded forest in Stavelot, Belgium.

Scuderia Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel claimed his fifth win of the 2018 Formula 1 season after crafting together a textbook drive around Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Stavelot, Belgium. He took the lead early and maintained it for the whole 44-lap race around the 4.352-mile (7.004-kilometer) track.

The previous Belgian Grand Prix was held in 2017 and featured Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport’s Lewis Hamilton taking the victory after starting from the pole position.

This year’s Belgian Grand Prix saw a race for turn one that resulted in contact between multiple front and mid-pack drivers. Shortly after this, Vettel passed Hamilton, and he did not look back.

Here are the driver grades for the 2018 Belgian Grand Prix.
