Lando Norris clinched pole position at the Belgian Grand Prix by a razor-thin margin over McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri, and a fresh ghost car video breaks it down sector by sector. The side-by-side overlay reveals Norris pulling ahead early in the lap at Spa-Francorchamps, gaining crucial tenths through the high-speed Eau Rouge and Raidillon complex where his line and throttle control edged out Piastri’s.
As the laps progress, Piastri fights back in the middle sector, closing the gap with sharper exits from the chicanes, but Norris seals the deal in the final turns. His superior braking into the bus stop chicane and smoother acceleration onto the straight deliver the decisive 0.063-second advantage. This visual tool highlights McLaren’s one-two qualifying lockout, setting up an intense race start amid the Ardennes’ unpredictable weather.
