The Belgian Grand Prix was a golden opportunity for Nico Rosberg to regain the initiative in the 2016 Formula One title race.

With Lewis Hamilton, his Mercedes team-mate and main rival, forced to start from the back of the grid, the German had the chance to take back the championship lead he threw away after a strong start to the season.

Rosberg did all he could, recording a comfortable pole-to-flag win, but he could only take 10 points out of Hamilton, who recovered to third place and still has a nine-point lead with eight races remaining.

But the German insisted he was not upset to see Hamilton join him on the podium, congratulating his team-mate on a job well done.

Come the end of this season, Hamilton's surge from 21st place on the grid may well be remembered as a title-deciding performance.

And the three-time world champion expressed his delight with his result, explaining why his podium finish far exceeded the expectations of his team.

Hamilton's chances of a podium finish received a major boost at the first corner, where Max Verstappen, Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen—who could all have easily finished in the top three—drove into each other.

Verstappen later frustrated Raikkonen, pushing the 2007 world champion off the track at one stage. Both Ferrari drivers criticised the teenager's driving during the race.

Hamilton's progress was also helped by Kevin Magnussen, whose frightening crash at the top of Eau Rouge encouraged many others to make a pit stop shortly before a red-flag stoppage gifted Hamilton a "free" tyre change.

Magnussen was fortunate to limp away from the wreckage and has vowed to be fit for the forthcoming Italian GP.

Closing our post-Belgian GP roundup is Felipe Nasr, who appears to be on the verge of completing a move to Williams for 2017.
