Racing Bulls performed well in the qualifying for the Sprint at Spa. Isaac Hadjar made it to the final session, while Liam Lawson finished 11th...
Isaac Hadjar (9th): "Good day! In the final session, we tried the Soft tires for the first time this weekend, which we didn't use in practice, and I didn't really like that lap — I felt more confident on Medium. It's a shame we couldn't improve — I have a feeling we could have done better.
On Saturday, we have a chance to score points in the sprint, and then we need to qualify as well as possible for the main race."
Liam Lawson (11th): "The car was fast, but I made a small mistake in the last chicane. Right now, every little thing matters; unfortunately, that took me out of contention. Of course, we'll draw conclusions and try to improve for tomorrow.
Like in any other weekend, it's important to maximize the car's potential, focus all efforts on that, and we'll be aiming for that throughout the weekend."
