SO CLOSE TO BEATING VERSTAPPEN! | Belgian GP | F1 26

Spa is one of my favourite tracks, so P2 is a great result, especially after fighting Verstappen for the win. Williams' engine is a big advantage here, and I finished 9 seconds ahead of Sainz in P5. Shame about the last few laps, my tyres were gone and I couldn't fight Verstappen anymore. The new Spa is a disappointment. Instead of hitting 350 km/h on the Kemmel Straight, I'm barely reaching 310 while saving battery. Takes away a lot of the fun of driving here.
