The 2010 Belgian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held before a crowd of 60,000 spectators at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Wallonia on 29 August. It was the 13th round of the 2010 Formula One World Championship.
McLaren's Lewis Hamilton won the 44-lap race after starting from second position. Red Bull's Mark Webber was second ahead of Robert Kubica's third-placed Renault. It was Hamilton's third victory of the season and the 14th of his career.
Webber, who led the World Drivers' Championship with a four-point lead over Hamilton, achieved the sixth pole position of his career but started slowly and immediately lost the lead to Hamilton. The Grand Prix was slowed by two safety car deployments due to a collision between the Williams car of Rubens Barrichello and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso on the first lap and another accident for Alonso on the 38th lap. Hamilton led throughout in variable weather, despite running into a gravel trap on lap 35, and finished 1.5 seconds ahead of Webber. Kubica took his last podium by finishing third after overshooting the entry to his pit lane box late in the race.
The result returned Hamilton to the top of the World Drivers' Championship.
