Lando Norris was fastest from McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri in second practice for the Belgian Grand Prix.

McLaren have continued their form as the benchmark team in F1 at Spa-Francorchamps as Norris ended up 0.215s ahead of Piastri, with Max Verstappen 0.217s off the pace.

Verstappen will take a 10-grid place penalty for the race, after going over the limit for the amount of engines you can use in a season.

With the championship leader starting no higher than 11th, McLaren have another big opportunity to eat into Verstappen's 76-point advantage over Norris in the drivers' standings and Red Bull's 51-point lead in the constructors' championship.

Charles Leclerc was fourth but half a second down on Norris, with Carlos Sainz in fifth and eight tenths away from the best pace.

Mercedes have brought upgrades to Belgium, including a reprofiled diffuser and floor edge, but George Russell was one second off the McLarens in sixth and Lewis Hamilton down in 10th.

Hamilton aborted his first two flying laps on the soft tyres and was 1.2 seconds behind Norris, but used the best of his tyre life.
