Bortoleto: It's difficult to predict how the R26 will perform.

      Silverstone became only the second round of the season where Gabriel Bortoleto managed to earn points, but the Brazilian Audi driver hopes that the streak of misfortune is behind him and that he will be able to fight for points in both Grands Prix that are to be held before the summer break.

      Gabriel Bortoleto: "At the previous round, we were able to earn points again – I think this is good for all of us, for our team, as there were several races before where we couldn't achieve that. It was frustrating because we knew the car was capable of a decent pace, but for one reason or another, we couldn't put everything together.

      However, the weekend in Silverstone went quite well, we had a decent qualifying and race, and we were also able to improve our start. All of this was encouraging, and we hope that in the next two rounds we can build on that success.

      However, the track in Spa has a lot of straights, and because of this, we might find ourselves in a difficult position, as we know our car doesn't perform well in those sections of the track where everything depends on engine power. However, there are also quite a few corners here, so it will be interesting, although the task is to try to improve in all aspects.

      I'm very curious to see how we will do this weekend, as this is one of those rounds of the season where I really can't predict how our car will perform. The best approach is to start the practice sessions, believe whether we have the right approach to energy usage, understand what level we are at, and act accordingly."
