5 things you might have missed from the Belgian Grand Prix weekend

Oscar Piastri bagged his sixth Grand Prix victory of the 2025 season, beating team mate and title rival Lando Norris to win in Belgium, as the on-track action between the McLaren pair kept people gripped.

But there was also plenty going on in Spa off the track too. Here’s a round-up of five things you might have missed across the Belgian Grand Prix weekend…

Yuki Tsunoda-Piastri

The moment many F1 fans have been waiting for finally happened ahead of the race on Sunday when Oscar Piastri’s mum Nicole met her ‘adopted son’ Yuki Tsunoda.

Yuki gave her a signed No.22 cap, with Nicole gushing: “I just think you are fantastic, a really good person… Backing my boys!”

“My boys” jokingly refers to both Red Bull’s Yuki and Drivers’ Championship leader Oscar.

That all started a year ago when Oscar joked on X (formerly Twitter) he was hoping to find some Monegasque roots, with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc offering to adopt him in response.

Across that weekend F1 even changed Oscar’s name on the free practice standings to ‘Oscar Piastri-Leclerc’.

Nicole’s response was to post: “It appears there’s a vacancy for a son in my family, @yukitsunoda07?” And she has subsequently been spotted wearing Tsunoda merchandise from then on.

Her dream weekend in Belgium was completed when her actual son Oscar stormed to victory in Sunday’s race to extend his championship lead.

A family affair for Piastri

The Piastri family were out in force at Spa, with Oscar’s grandfather attending his first race outside of Australia.

After his victory, Oscar wrote this message on the winning champagne bottle: “To Grandad. I guess you need to come to races more often too!”

The McLaren man explained afterwards: “One of my sisters, in Spain, that was her first race outside of Australia, and that was a good weekend. Now my grandfather [is] the same, so maybe I need to get my family members one by one for the rest of the races!”

F1’s opening titles featuring a Hans Zimmer twist

Would you like your F1 titles with a little extra Hans Zimmer sauce?

Fans tuning in for the Belgian Grand Prix were greeted by the F1 The Movie soundtrack song ‘F1’ accompanying the usual title sequence – which you can enjoy in the video below!

Zimmer, a twice Oscar-winning legendary composer, spent time talking to seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton to understand what it’s like driving an F1 car before he wrote his score for F1 The Movie. “It’s dangerous, yet incredibly elegant,” he said.

Those devoted to Brian Tyler’s epic F1 theme need not fear: it will be back!

Chequered flag icons

Have you ever seen a chequered flag waved with such panache?

The sharp-dressed gentleman was 80-year-old Jacky Ickx, Belgium’s finest F1 racer and twice a runner-up in the World Championship.

Ickx has eight F1 wins to his name – coincidentally the exact same number as all three drivers on the podium on Sunday have, Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc.

Real Madrid and Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois also got the honour of waving the flag to finish the Sprint on Saturday, and was a little more cautious in his approach!

Did you know you can get your name on a square of the chequered flag, and then own that square after it has been waved? Well now you do…! Find out more

Amelia Dimoldenberg X HAAS

British comedian and presenter, Amelia Dimoldenberg, was among the celebrities who enjoyed a weekend at Spa.

It’s not Amelia’s first brush with F1, with Lando Norris featuring on her YouTube series ‘Chicken Shop Dates’ last year.

During a six-minute (deliberately!) awkward encounter, Amelia got Lando’s advice on how to pass her driving theory test; before pointedly making reference to the fact her fellow Brit had yet to win an F1 race.

Just 44 days after the episode was published, Lando broke his duck at the Miami Grand Prix, the first of eight victories for McLaren since.

Dimoldenberg was spotted in the Haas garage in Belgium though – and is it a coincidence that Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman both finished in the points in the Sprint? (Yes, probably).
