Kimi Antonelli: I think I took a step back.
Mercedes' best qualifying result at the Belgian Grand Prix was George Russell's sixth place. The British driver stated that the team took a step back and that it is necessary to understand the reasons for the decline in competitiveness. Kimi Antonelli had an unsuccessful qualifying session and was eliminated in the first round. Kimi said he does not feel confident in the car, so the team will adjust the settings before the race, and he will start from the pit lane. George Russell (6th): “I drove very good laps, but obviously, the team doesn't have speed this weekend. Aside from yesterday's sprint qualifying, today was the worst qualifying session of the season for me, as well as Kimi's. We need to understand what is happening. Historically, in sprint weekends, if you perform poorly in the sprint and then completely change the car’s settings, it rarely works.

Verstappen: Those were 15 laps at qualifying pace.
Max Verstappen won Saturday’s sprint at Spa, overtaking Oscar Piastri, who started from pole position, on the very first lap using slipstream, aided also by Red Bull Racing's car setup for lower downforce.
Max Verstappen: "The overtaking was quite successful, as the only real opportunity to pass McLaren was at the start, and we managed it before Turn 5. I understood that after that it would be very difficult to hold them back, so I had to play cat and mouse with battery energy while Oscar was behind and could use DRS.
Throughout the race, we were separated by no more than seven-tenths, so I couldn't afford to make serious mistakes. I only briefly locked the brakes once in the final turn, but apart from that, we managed to keep our rivals behind, which is a great result.

Before the Belgian Grand Prix start, elements of the power units were changed on three drivers' cars. Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, and Kimi Antonelli received a new internal combustion engine, a new turbocharger, and new MGU-H and MGU-K motor-generator units. Additionally, on Hamilton's Ferrari, a new energy store, a new electronic control unit, a new exhaust system were installed, and the suspension settings were changed. The "parc fermé" rules were violated to perform these replacements, so Hamilton, Alonso, and Antonelli will start the Sunday race from the pit lane.
Charles Leclerc is satisfied with the new updates prepared by the team and hopes for a successful performance.
Charles Leclerc: "I had a very good lap in qualifying, so I am happy. Recently, it has been quite difficult to bring all the elements together, but the team brought updates this weekend that allowed us to make a step in the right direction. The car now handles better, which helped in qualifying and will help in the race under challenging weather conditions.
In the previous two races, we had handling issues with the SF-25, but here we are in better shape. I hope this will pay off and we will have a successful race in difficult weather conditions."

100 Minutes Before the Start: Lando Norris's Commentary
Lando Norris starts from pole at Spa and is aiming for victory...
Lando Norris: "Winning the pole is always a pleasure, isn't it? So I'm happy, but today is a new day, and challenges will definitely increase. Starting from pole is obviously the best, but the day promises to be long. Competing on the track with my teammate is something I enjoy; I always try to get the most out of the car, and now it’s even more important than before.
However, we always strive to drive at the highest possible speeds, which is the biggest pleasure, and Oscar and I work well together, but we always aim to beat each other – it’s an interesting challenge, and today we’ll face it once again.
The difficulty lies in the unpredictable local weather, as it’s impossible to fully prepare for it, since the rain can fall with different intensities.

Carlos Sainz has joined the list of drivers starting from the pit lane at the Belgian Grand Prix. On Sunday morning, Williams' driver had the mechanical and aerodynamic settings of his car changed, thereby breaching the "parc ferme" rule. As a penalty, Carlos will start from the pit lane. Starting from the pit lane, Carlos Sainz will be ahead of Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Antonelli, and Fernando Alonso, as he qualified higher than this trio.
Max Verstappen starts fourth and would like to delight the numerous Dutch fans with a good result…
Max Verstappen: "It's great that today there are so many fans in the stands. Spa is my favorite track on the calendar; I feel incredible support here. I hope the spectators enjoy the race.
Let's see what result we achieve today. It was great to win the sprint, and today I hope to fight for the podium. I'm curious about the weather, how strong the rain will be. I don't expect an easy race.
In qualifying, we made a compromise in the car setup, but I hope it pays off in the race."

Rain interrupted the Formula 3 race at Spa.
The Formula 3 race on Sunday was canceled due to heavy rain and the expiration of available time after two incomplete laps behind the safety car.
Sunday morning greeted the young championship participants with pouring rain, so for safety reasons, the formation lap started behind the safety car. During the very first lap, James Hedley, Tim Tramnitz, and Brando Badoer went off track. Hedley and Tramnitz continued, but Badoer retired.
In some parts of the circuit, full-fledged rivers flowed, so the race director displayed red flags, and the peloton, following the safety car, returned to the pit lane.
The pause lasted half an hour. During this time, the rain almost stopped, and marshals used dryers and tractors to help drain water from the asphalt.

Formula 2: Alex Duncan won the race in Spa through the rain.
Unlike the earlier morning hours, when due to unpredictable Belgian weather the F3 race could not be held, by the start of the Sunday Formula 2 race the rain had stopped, albeit temporarily. But most importantly, the cars lined up on the grid, and by decision of the race director, it began behind a safety car.
At the end of qualifying, the peloton was led by Alex Dann, who earned a couple of bonus points for pole position on Friday. He was followed by Ritomu Miata, for whom this was the best starting position of the season, with Roman Stanek in third place, and Viktor Marten, who had stepped onto the podium yesterday, in fourth.
Richard Fershor, who was leading the youth series before the Spa round, started outside the top ten, as did Jack Crawford, who was second in the personal rankings.

De la Rosa observes 'indications of diminished confidence' in Hamilton.
"With the new suspension, it feels like we have a different car."
Lewis Hamilton’s challenging inaugural season with Ferrari hit a new low at Spa, where he found himself eliminated in Q1 twice and acknowledged that he "really needs to reflect on himself." The seven-time world champion spun out during sprint qualifying and subsequently had his fastest lap in the main qualifying session nullified due to track limits – a significant setback at a track where he has traditionally performed well. "One car performs, and mine does not,” Hamilton stated to Sky Italia. "I don’t take this lightly. I feel really sorry for the team and for everyone at the factory. It’s unacceptable. I’m striving to improve. It’s devastating for the team. Everyone is putting in so much effort and bringing impressive upgrades here.

Max states that the team 'required' the people-oriented engineer Mekies.
"We have frequent discussions about various topics."
Max Verstappen mentions that the atmosphere at Red Bull has improved after Christian Horner's departure, noting that new team principal Laurent Mekies made a favorable impression during his first weekend at Spa. "The atmosphere is very good," Verstappen shared with Dutch media, downplaying any tensions related to the recent leadership transition. The triple world champion reportedly advocated for more freedom to leave Red Bull by 2027, and sources believe that Horner's exit has facilitated that possibility.
Mekies brings a technical background, which Verstappen views as a positive: "When someone is more technically inclined, it's natural to engage in more technical discussions with them. He's simply a different type of team principal.

Antonelli weeps, Mercedes falters, Verstappen shuts the door.
"He's two to three tenths behind George."
Mercedes is experiencing its toughest weekend of 2025 so far at Spa, coinciding with Toto Wolff's near confirmation that Max Verstappen will stay with Red Bull. The most evident indicator of this was not reflected in lap times but rather in emotions. Kimi Antonelli, the 18-year-old protégé of Wolff and the direct successor to Lewis Hamilton, faced a disappointing 18th place in qualifying and was visibly upset before addressing the media. Throughout his interviews, he held onto a crumpled tissue, his eyes red and his voice shaky. When asked by a Viaplay reporter, "Are you okay?" he replied, "Yeah, I'm okay." The interviewer followed up, "Yeah? Sure? Okay."
The difficulties began within the car. On team radio, Antonelli expressed, "So sorry. Sorry.
"He's two to three tenths behind George."

Tsunoda's rise suggests a Red Bull comeback extending beyond Verstappen.
"We installed the new underbody on his car."
The positive change at Red Bull following Christian Horner's departure is being felt not just at the front, but also further down the grid, where Yuki Tsunoda is finally narrowing the gap after an unexpected upgrade at Spa. "We’re very pleased to start with," Dr. Helmut Marko told ORF. "This is the first time we have four cars in the top ten," he remarked, highlighting the strong performances from Max Verstappen, Liam Lawson, Isack Hadjar, and Tsunoda, who qualified seventh compared to Verstappen's fourth.
Marko, who now has more influence within Red Bull Racing, sees improvement in the long-struggling Japanese driver. "I believe he’s getting better and better.

Sainz: Williams 'not performing at F1 standard'
"Carlos Sainz is displaying increasing frustration at Williams, where ongoing issues and a lack of advancements in 2025 have caused the Spaniard to openly question the team's level of performance. 'We’re not performing at the standard we should be in Formula 1,' Sainz remarked to DAZN at Spa, following yet another troublesome weekend. Since joining Williams after his departure from Ferrari, Sainz has seldom experienced a weekend free of difficulties. While team principal James Vowles is working towards a reset in 2026, Sainz is evidently dissatisfied with the continual setbacks. 'More than reliability, these are minor issues, small mistakes that we all occasionally make,' he explained. 'Sometimes it's one of us,' he mentioned, referring to his teammate Alex Albon, 'other times it’s someone else.

Alonso pleaded to remove his moustache as Aston reaches a new low.
"It's becoming longer and longer, and it really doesn’t suit him."
As Aston Martin found itself at the back of the grid at Spa, Fernando Alonso attempted to shift focus away from one of the least favorable qualifying results of his career - by sporting a moustache. Despite the team introducing its final upgrade package for 2025, which included a new front wing, both Alonso and his teammate Lance Stroll ended up on the last row. What started with some initial hope quickly took a downward turn.
"In FP1, we managed to test the new components, and it appears to be a step in the right direction," Alonso stated on Friday. "We have increased downforce with that wing, and we are pleased with it. This is the setup we are currently utilizing.

Bearman's holiday karting battle concludes in disappointment.
"He should be capable of F1."
While Max Verstappen and Toto Wolff enjoyed a yacht trip in Sardinia during the mini-break after Silverstone, Haas rookie Oliver Bearman was vacationing in Sweden with his family and girlfriend—until a nearby karting track altered his plans. "I love karting," the 20-year-old stated at Spa. "I hadn't intended to go every day, but it's not a bad thing, of course."
Once he found out about the circuit, Bearman couldn’t resist. "Naturally, I went there daily to attempt to beat the lap record," he chuckled. "I managed to do it on the final day! The track was really exciting. It had a short lap time of just 29 seconds, which required incredible precision."
He came within three hundredths of a second after 15 laps and couldn't walk away. "When you're that close, you can't stop until you win.

80 minutes until start: Oscar Piasti's commentary
Before the start of the Sunday race at Spa, Oscar Piastri was talking about the changing weather conditions...
Oscar Piastri: "I dressed according to the weather, but I'm glad there's no rain right now. Anyway, today we'll need to follow a different strategy, and I hope everything will be fine. Starting from second position isn't that bad, and throughout the driver parade, I was specifically watching the track condition around the Eau Rouge turn, trying to gauge how wet it is and whether it can be taken at full throttle.
However, we'll see what awaits us. If it rains, we'll have to solve more complex tasks because in such conditions, Eau Rouge turns into a real corner. The forecast indeed predicts that rain will start again before the race – we'll see how to act, but the goal remains the same: to try to win the race.

This weekend, the upgrades that Max is using were also installed on Yuki Tsunoda's car. He made it to the qualifying final yesterday and is aiming for a successful race today...
Yuki Tsunoda: "First of all, I want to thank the team for putting the upgrades on my car. I didn't expect this to happen this weekend, so thank you to the entire team, all the mechanics.
Nevertheless, qualifying was not easy at all because I didn't know how the car would behave. But I was able to adapt, and the engineers did a great job in finding the most optimal balance possible.
I feel that the car's behavior has changed, and this helped me achieve a result different from the recent stages. I am satisfied.
Let's see how the race unfolds. I am continuing to work on my long-run pace, but today will be a different scenario compared to previous races. I feel more motivated and am aiming to earn points for the team and myself. I am fully focused."

On Saturday, Isaac Hadjar performed excellently in qualifying, securing eighth place on the starting grid, and in the race, he hopes to gain a few more positions...
Isaac Hadjar: "This weekend, our car is very fast, and I am optimistic. We chose wet track settings, so I’m looking forward to the start with enthusiasm.
This season, speed in fast corners is our forte, so we are quite successful on tracks like Spa and Suzuka. We didn’t even have to make too many changes to the base settings this weekend, as the car is good in itself."
