Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo claimed first place in this afternoon's Belgium Grand Prix.

Nico Rosberg, who is leading the championship, started on pole position, but he collided on lap two with his teammate Lewis Hamilton, which forced both drivers to pit for repairs.

That allowed Australian Ricciardo to hit the front and he held on to that position all the way through to the 44th and final lap.

Rosberg recovered from the incident with Hamilton to finish in second spot, but the Brit was forced to retire from the race.

Meanwhile, third place was claimed by Valtteri Bottas in the Williams.
