Preparations are well under way for the Belgian Grand Prix, as Alex and Logan look to put points on the board in Spa. Round 14 sees our duo head to the Ardennes Forest, for the final race before this summer’s shutdown. And Alex is hoping to secure a positive result before we hit pause on the season. “As we come to the last round before the summer break, it’s obviously been a tough season so far, but we’ve learned a lot — understanding the car characteristics more, which we’ll look to apply for the remainder of the season and beyond,” he explained. “For Spa, I’m looking forward to racing on a track that I love and one that should suit our car better. “Being in the forest, the weather always makes things interesting, and it should be slightly cooler which always helps us with tyre management, something we struggled with last year. “Hopefully, we can enter the summer break on a good note and make the most of the opportunities that arise.”

Logan is also optimistic about the FW46’s prospects on the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. “I’m looking forward to heading to Spa before the summer break,” he said. “We’ll need to build on the momentum from the previous two rounds to be able to round out this triple header on a positive note. “The weather is always a factor this time of year in Spa which can present opportunities. “In the past, this track has suited our car better than some other circuits, so it will be interesting to see how the characteristics of the FW46 perform around there with the midfield battle so tight.”

Sporting Director Sven Smeets echoed Alex and Logan’s thoughts on the unpredictable weather, saying: “We’re looking forward to returning to Belgium as it's one of the best tracks in the calendar. “Spa has it all, from long straits, to high-speed corner sequences and low-speed chicanes. “The weather forecast predicts mixed conditions until Saturday which will make Qualifying even more interesting, whereas on Sunday the weather is expected to settle for a dry race. “This is the last race before the summer shutdown, and we will be looking to finish the first half on a good note with some points on the board, as this track should suit our car.”
