Welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa Francorchamps.

Many thanks for joining us - it's not been the rain-soaked thriller we'd hoped for, but it's hard to argue anything other than that the best team won today. We'll be back in two weeks time for the Italian Grand Prix from Monza - see you then!

Alonso is second, 17 seconds back, with Lewis Hamilton third a further ten seconds back.

SEBASTIAN VETTEL WINS THE BELGIAN GRAND PRIX! An immaculate display both from the driver and the car, and he stretches his lead to 46 points.

The final lap begins, and nothing can now stop Vettel getting his fifth win of the season, and his third in five races.

Vettel's gap at the front an amazing 17 seconds now...

"Make sure you stay within the car and within yourself" Red Bull tell Vettel after he posts the fastest lap of the race. 14 seconds clear an with three laps to go, that's good advice...

A few spots of rain confidently predicted by the end of the race now, but nothing heavy enough to change the result today.

Massa nips past Felipe Grosjean to rise to seventh place - Grosjean had been hanging on well, but his one-stop strategy meant that he just didn't have the tyres to hang on indefinitely.

Vettel now 12 seconds clear of Alonso, Alonso 12 seconds clear of Hamilton, Hamilton 2.5 seconds clear of Rosberg. Increasingly hard to see that changing now.

Still no sign of rain as Hamilton, Rosberg and Webber come through in that battle for third place, but the gaps between all three drivers is expanding rather than contracting right now. Webber's tyres seem to be dying on him and he's struggling for pace now - perhaps pushing too hard earlier has caught up on him.

Maldonado is given a 10-second stop-go penalty for taking out Di Resta earlier on - not that it'll make much difference considering he's already down in 16th.

Hamilton just a couple of seconds in front of Rosberg - if Webber can get past, he has a real chance of a podium finish.

Webber right up behind Rosberg up the Kemmel Straight, but he's not close enough and can't quite make it past. He slips back after the failed attempt, and Rosberg gains a bit of good breathing space.

Back down the field, Hulkenberg and Vergne are having a great battle, both men running the other slightly off the track round Les Combes.

Jenson Button comes into the pits! There's no rain yet, so we're not sure what's going on there - Button seemed to be lapping perfectly okay on those tyres, and surely he's blown any chance of that podium spot by going in before he had to.

Webber is chewing huge chunks of time out of fifth placed Nico Rosberg - over a second a lap right now, and he's a few corners from getting into attack formation...

It would also be McLaren's first podium of the season. Last time they went a year without a podium was 1980!

Button is told that he can 'go back to plan A', despite his tyres starting to look pretty bad now. Not sure if that means new tyres or not, but it could well mean staying out until the rain comes... And if that plan comes off, with a 2.5s advantage over Hamilton in fourth, Button is now looking pretty good for his first podium of the season.

Vettel gets a clear message on the radio: push your tyres as hard as you like to increase your lead, the rain is coming!

Jenson Button still clinging to third and still looking good on those hard tyres. He doesn't have to come in since he's had both types of tyres on, but it's a big ask to stay ahead of guys behind him considering that his tyres have 15 of these 4.2 mile laps on them already.
