Frederic Vasseur, Ferrari team principal: "The Belgian Grand Prix is one of the two races held before the summer break. We worked intensely at the factory to prepare an additional update package for the SF-25, and this weekend we will focus on maximizing its potential right away.
As always, during the sprint rounds on Saturday, the key to success in the second half of the weekend will be productive work in the sole practice session. The performance gap between teams is very small, every detail can matter, so we will concentrate on our work to steadily achieve the maximum throughout the weekend on a track where weather can also play a role."
