Piastri fastest in sole Belgian GP practice

BELGIUM, JUL 25 – Oscar Piastri led the only practice session by 0.404 seconds over Max Verstappen as teams tested aerodynamic upgrades during the sprint weekend format at Spa-Francorchamps.

  • Friday's sole free practice saw Oscar Piastri top Spa-Francorchamps with a 1:42.022 lap, demonstrating McLaren's strong pace this weekend.
  • With sprint regulations meant teams had just one practice, Christian Horner was absent after his dismissal earlier this month, marking a significant team leadership change at Red Bull.
  • Oscar Piastri topped FP1 with a 1:42.022, Norris finished third, and McLaren's MCL39 featured a new low-downforce rear wing.
  • Max Verstappen said Christian Horner's dismissal 'has made no difference', and sprint qualifying starts at 16:30 local time today.
  • Eight teams brought new aerodynamic parts, with Piastri's pace positioning McLaren as the team to beat at the upcoming race.
