Max Verstappen was fastest in Friday's practice for the Belgian Grand Prix, but in Saturday's third practice session at Spa-Francorchamps, Kimi Antonelli set the best time. According to available information, the reigning world champion and the former champion both stayed close to the top. Tagesspiegel ↗
The Belgian race is the tenth event of the Formula 1 season. Ahead of the weekend, Red Bull was mainly dealing with the rear wing, as the team returned to the original specification. The decision came after problems from the previous two race weekends in Austria and at Silverstone, where Max Verstappen suffered accidents following a component failure. The Austrian team hopes it will soon be able to use the modified wing again. sport.sk ↗
Ahead of qualifying, attention was also on Mercedes' performance, which, somewhat surprisingly, stayed a bit further back in the first session. Among the open questions of the weekend were also possible issues with energy management during the race and developments in the midfield, where Alpine's difficulties were mentioned. Le Figaro ↗
At the same time, speculation continues around Verstappen's future at Red Bull. The season has so far not gone according to expectations for the four-time world champion, and reports have emerged of interest from McLaren. Further developments in Belgium could therefore be important not only for the outcome of the weekend, but also for assessing Red Bull's direction in the current season. Der Standard ↗
