- Sprint Qualifying: P6, 1:41.761, 11 laps

• Carlos Sainz will fight for good points in the Sprint race of the Belgian GP, which he will start from sixth place in the third row of the grid.
• The Williams race driver got to test a new update on his FW47, although he couldn’t run as many laps as intended because he missed half of the practice session due to an unexpected technical issue.
• The Spanish driver beat his teammate by almost half a second in SQ1 (1:42.776), and he was later eighth in SQ2 (1:42.051) and finally sixth on Soft tyres in SQ3 (1:41.761).

QUOTES:
"I’m happy with P6 today. It was a big turnaround from the team and myself after missing half of FP1, so it was good to get some decent laps in during SQ. We also have some updates on the car which I still need to properly understand in order to fine tune the set up but, overall, when everything goes to plan, we can better show our pace. Hopefully tomorrow we can keep building through the weekend!".
