    Norris pipped Piastri to pole position by just 0.085s in an close qualifying at Spa-Francorchamps.

    F1 championship leader Piastri appeared to have the edge over Norris over one lap but the Briton turned the tables on his title rival and teammate when it mattered most with a superb lap during what turned out to be all-Papaya battle for pole.

    Charles Leclerc claimed third place on the grid for Ferrari, 0.338s adrift of the McLaren pair, as he got the better of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who had to settle with fourth after winning the sprint race on Saturday morning.

    Game on tomorrow.  Should be a good one as the Sprint was a clean race.

  • The second half of the season could be a great competition between the two McLaren drivers, they are way faster than the rest of the field. Reminds me of Mercedes doing the same in the early 2020’s, just wish my beloved Ferrari team could get their act together.
