SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium (AP) — Max Verstappen has won a rain-soaked Belgian Grand Prix. The race was finally called off after it had restarted under a safety car nearly three hours later than its scheduled time. The race was shortened to last one hour with only half points awarded to the winner, who needed to complete only two laps to earn points. Verstappen was leading from Williams driver George Russell and Mercedes star Lewis Hamilton on Lap 4 when the restarted ended after roughly 10 minutes with rain still lashing down.
