SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, BELGIUM—When Nico Rosberg took pole position for the Belgium Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton was watching on television with his feet up. Hamilton, the defending champion and series leader, must limit the damage and protect his 19-point lead over Rosberg as much as possible. It was cooler and the tires went a lot longer, behaved more like normal tires,” Hamilton said. “It will be a tough race, very tough,” said Rosberg, who will be aiming for a 20th GP win. The previous youngest was Mexican Ricardo Rodriguez, who qualified second for Ferrari at the 1961 Italian GP, aged 19.
