“It’s been a positive start to our Sprint weekend here in Spa. Oscar secured a deserved Pole position, taking a step from the Medium to Soft tyre in SQ3 with a strong lap that capitalised everything available in the car this afternoon.
“Lando extracted a bit less from the Soft tyres in SQ3. However, it’s good to have him also starting in the top three, where he will be able to fight for a win in the Sprint and valuable championship points.
“We will now turn our focus to tomorrow’s competitive sessions. We are only at the end of Friday, the competition is close, and the weather is also likely to play a role. We have a very interesting weekend ahead.”
