PIT to CARLOS
P6, P6. Good race, good pace – just a few small things that we can discuss for the weekend. Good job, mate.
CARLOS to PIT:
Yeah, I agree. We tried our best. Just not very race-able, this Haas. It was very quick in sector 1 and 3.
JAMES to CARLOS:
Well done, Carlos. As you say they were very quick in a straight line, but that will provide some learning for us tonight and tomorrow.
CARLOS to PIT:
Yeah, let's do it.

No battery. Ideas were wrong.
JAMES to ALEX
Well, Alex, I know it's tough, it's just the fact of the starting position. We've got everything we need to qualify this afternoon, so there's lots of opportunity in front of us.

Race
Welcome to the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, nestled in the Ardennes forest of Belgium, and long-time host to the Belgian Grand Prix.
This iconic circuit is beloved by drivers, featuring high-speed corners, dramatic elevation changes, and some of the most legendary corners on the planet.
The region's unpredictable weather adds an extra layer of complexity to the racing for drivers, and strategy for teams, making it one of the highlights of any Formula 1 calendar.
Circuit Overview:
Spanning 7.004 km (4.352 miles), the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps is the longest track in the Formula 1 season, with 20 turns breaking up its many straights.
The La Source hairpin and Eau Rouge-Raidillon complex kicks off a lap in unrivalled fashion with the long Kemmel Straight that follows being the best point to get alongside a competitor.
Sector 2, by comparison, is a downhill run through Les Combes, Bruxelles, Pouhon, and into Stavelot as the corners keep coming before the high-speed Sector 3 has cars full-throttle through Blanchimont, only slowing for the chicane that ends a lap like no other in the sport.
