Max Verstappen recovered from his engine-related grid penalties to extend an already commanding championship lead with victory in Belgium.
Verstappen quickly climbed up the order when the race began and found himself leading after only a quarter of the 44-lap encounter had passed.
As strategies unfolded, Verstappen moved further clear of teammate Sergio Perez, who followed the Dutchman home for a Red Bull 1-2 finish.
Ferrari endured another under-par afternoon, with Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc having to settle for third and sixth respectively, sandwiching George Russell and Fernando Alonso.
Russell was the sole Mercedes driver at the finish, as Lewis Hamilton dropped out on the opening lap following a clash with Alpine rival Alonso.
Leclerc took fifth on the road but dropped to sixth after picking up a five-second time penalty for speeding in the pits in a failed late bid to grab the fastest lap.
