-    Sprint Shootout: P3, 1:49.081, 14 laps
-    Sprint: P4, 11 laps

• Carlos Sainz almost finished in the Top 3 in the Sprint of the Belgian GP, which was once again affected by the weather.
• The rain forced a delay of 30 minutes and then the cars did four formation laps behind the Safety-Car.
• Track conditions improved drastically, so Carlos pitted on the first lap after the green flag to switch to Intermediate tyres.
• The incoming traffic after the tyre change, though, cost him several places and ultimately a better result.

QUOTES:
"We had good pace with the Inters but we missed out on a better result. The pit stop was crucial today and unfortunately, we lost some valuable positions there. We will look into it, but apart from that it was a solid Saturday for the team and I felt good in these conditions".

"Now we focus on tomorrow: it's difficult to know how our pace will be during the race so I prefer to be cautious. However, I’m looking forward to putting everything together and finishing this first part of the season with a good result. Let’s race again!".
