We pick up where we left off. On Friday of free practice in Belgium is Max Verstappen to tear the best performance ahead of Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris.
Ready to go from the bottom
The real novelty, however, concerns the choice of Red Bull to mount the fourth power unit on the Dutchman's car. For these reasons, Verstappen will start from the back of the track, but together with Charles Leclerc. It will therefore be a very interesting challenge with the rider from Ferrari and only the car who will have the best pace will be able to dispute a great comeback. The choice of Red Bull is closely linked to the freezing of the engines, which will start on 1st September, and considering the grand tour de force with the GP of Zandvoort and that of Italy, Spa represents the right track for the unit change.
Verstappen: "Our approach hasn't changed"
It will therefore be a very interesting weekend, in which Verstappen will be called to comeback. In this regard, the Dutch at the end of FP2 said"The penalty didn't change the approach too much. We just tried to find the best setup for the car. I felt good right from the start: there are still some things we need to use to find a better balance, but in general I was happy with the car right from the first laps. In every exit made the car went well. Clearly I would have liked to shoot more, but overall I can't complain. Here the comeback is a little easier than on other tracks, that's why we try".
