Carlos Sainz heads into the Belgian GP with enthusiasm and some updates

Belgian GP, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps (7,004 meters, 19 corners, in the calendar since 1950)

  • Formula 1 returns after a three-week break following the British GP and now heads into a double-header in Spa-Francorchamps and Hungaroring, right before the summer break that will lead to the last part of the season.
  • Carlos’ best result to date in Belgium is a third place in 2022, a year in which he also clinched the pole position.
  • The Williams team arrives to Spa-Francorchamps with some updates on his FW47 and Carlos wants to check whether they are a step forward in terms of performance.

QUOTES:
“As we head to Belgium for the penultimate race before the summer break, we’ve all had some time off since Silverstone, so I’m feeling rested and ready to get out on track for one of the best circuits of the year! Spa always presents challenges and opportunities, whether that being the track characteristics or the unpredictable weather, it always makes for an interesting weekend. With the Sprint format adding to this year, let’s hope this can create some exciting opportunities for us. We’re coming with some updated package items, so it will be great to see how these perform on a more difficult track. I’m excited to get back out there and have a strong weekend!".
