Lewis Hamilton therefore signs his 93rd career pole in Belgium, well above the rest. Slightly in difficulty throughout the weekend, Valtteri Bottas confirmed that he was not on the pace of his teammate in qualifying.
He will be directly under threat from Max Verstappen in the race, who has a better pace than in qualifying.
Very nice performance from the two Renaults, very fast in a straight line, which are inserted between the Red Bulls. Their low downforce can be used to overtake in the race.
