An unforgettable qualification, as well as the penalties, which were really numerous! In qualifications in Belgium it is pole position for Verstappen who, however, changing power unit, will be forced to leave the front row to Carlos Sainz and teammate Sergio Perez.

Tomorrow could therefore be a great opportunity for Perez. The Mexican, without receiving the slipstream in the last attempt of Q3, still managed to position himself in second position and tomorrow, looking for victory is undoubtedly a must. The number eleven of Red Bull, after the victory in Munich, could no longer find that brilliance and hardship, perhaps related to updates, on his RB18 they have also only increased, as has the gap from his teammate Max Verstappen.
Perez: "We need to start well"
the Mexican to win would really mean a lot, especially considering the last period which has certainly not been the best. He believes it and on the matter he said:
"Certainly second place is not the worst of the results on this circuit, if I can get a good start following Carlos maybe I can reverse the positions – said Perez at the end of the qualifications – I look forward to tomorrow with optimism, it will be a great race. Tomorrow it will be important to start well and then try to make our race from the start, this will be the key”.
