Formula 1, live | Belgian GP final practices and classification

F1 GP Belgium | Verstappen did a great lap in FP2 and Sainz’s possible poleMarc Gené talks about Leclerc’s surprise when he saw Verstappen’s time in Free Practice 2: “For sure it is conditioned by the temperature of the track, but it is a sprint. But in the race we trust that everything will equalize a little” .

Possible pole position for Sainz: “It’s an opportunity for Carlos, besides Pérez (his theoretical rival now) costs him and seems to cost him more as the World Cup goes on. Mercedes seems not too fast here. Carlos You should know you have a good chance.”

F1 GP Belgium | The Ferrari has yet to appear on the trackMarc Gené explained this on ‘DAZN F1′. This is a very interesting and important explanation: “We planned not to go out on the track until the first 15 minutes of the session have passed, because in the end you will do two runs and yesterday it rained and we want the track to be full more rubber, with F1 rubber. There is time to do two runs and change the set-up in between and we consider it will be something more representative of what the track will be in qualy. Red Bull makes a long run, but we already have enough It is clear what tomorrow’s strategy will be and also we save a few kilometers, because with Ferrarti we don’t have too many kilometers on the machines. The two we run’ ll do will be with little fuel to test for qualifying. Yesterday we did two aerodynamic tests. In FP1 more and in FP2 less. We are back to the maximum load and it should not change now and m We’re just concentrating on doing the test on the soft tires and making the set up change which shouldn’t be too good of”.

“The temperature is the same as yesterday and on Sunday it will be hotter, like 10 degrees more on the track, which is not the first time this has happened, as we saw in Hungary, that what we saw on Friday was changed a lot for Sunday.. year there were two or three races where the temperature was very bad for us, like in Monaco where we were worse in the water but the clearest case was Hungary. It was absolutely clearly the Red Bull is the car that warms up the tire best in a lap or long run when it’s a problem to get into the optimum tire temperature”

F1 GP Belgium | Free 3Teams continue to take advantage of this session to collect data from average runs after they were unable to squeeze track time to the maximum on the first day due to changing weather conditions. For this reason, we see a variety of rubber testing jobs in these minutes.

F1 GP Belgium | Free 3The rain forecast for today is 30%, but the clouds threaten to take center stage. And it was in Spa, a place where the editor writing these lines saw snow repeatedly 4 times in the second 6 H of Spa where Alonso competed in the WEC… nothing can be ignored in terms of time.

Carlos He said he wasn’t worried, that he just tried a different setting that didn’t work. The Spanish pilot said he knew where the time he was missing was.

“In Free Practice 2 we made some changes that didn’t work as we hoped. In any case, we know where the time is, so I think we are fine”, said Carlos Sainz. Ferrari tried to downforce to gain time in sectors 1 and 3 from Red Bull, but it hurt them in FP2. The Red Bull is more loaded and still as fast as the Ferrari on the straights and faster in sector 2.
