Leclerc's Spa victory epitomised his racer's spirit

SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Just 18 hours after racing stopped under the most tragic of circumstances at Spa-Francorchamps, it resumed on Sunday morning with Formula 3's sprint race.

Thirty cars -- driven by men with an average age of just over 19-years-old -- hurtled downhill from the La Source corner towards the scene of Anthoine Hubert's fatal accident the day before. As they shot up the 18 percent incline of Raidillon at over 100mph, not one of them backed off and, thankfully, all 30 emerged on the other side fighting for position on the long run up to Les Combes.
