Standings after the Belgian grand prix

Here are the latest standings following the Belgian grand prix. (Race points here. Losers Team points here.)

Team Name extended their lead by over 200 points. If their score was height in metres, they would be one and a half Burj Khalifas tall. The biggest mover was WereDrivingInReverse, who rose four places. Clean Trolls jumped up three places, and Thomas's Tractors two. Panda Pops, Cruthers Car Co and The Tour de France is Better all lost ground.

Schumacher, Perez and Ocon all moved up the driver standings. while a strong Belgian finish for Ricciardo saw him drop three places. The constructor standings remained static, with Haas adding over 20 points to their lead.

Read on for the full Standings following Belgium.

Losers Team scores: Belgian grand prix

While the FIA was giving out half scores – pah! – the Losers League gave out loads of full-blooded double scores because (a) we are generous and wise and ever so fabulous, and (b) it was a default DRS (Double Race Scores) grand prix so we had to do it because that's how the League works.

August has seen some changes in the F1 Losers League. This race introduces Fast Forecasts, in which teams can make low-risk predictions. We have also introduced a disruptive new results tool Break Assist, which spells trouble for your team if you don't score enough points.

Good job we have these new additions because there wasn't much to talk about at the shortest grand prix in history. 

Read on for the Losers Teams scores for Belgium, all newly formatted to make everything so much more transparent.

Race points: Belgian grand prix

We should abandon this race summary after the first couple of words. Two words. Done. There's our full summary. It would be no worse than pulling a race after a couple of laps.

Fortunately, the F1 Losers League cannot be hampered by incessant rain. Belgium may have been the biggest washout in F1 history, but the real damp squibs are right here in our race points. Six Beige Flags! Red Bull getting the Backwards Bonus two races in a row! Hamilton's toilet trauma told so beautifully over his team radio!

Perez took the spoils for the drivers at the Belgian grand prix, and even without Beige Flags, Haas prove themselves again as ultimate losers on the top of the calamitous constructor pile. Read on for the full and definitely not halved Belgian race points.
