“It's an incredible feeling, it's my first pole at Spa, I've never been on the front row, she rejoices. When I was on my exit lap, I took my time to look at the stands, they were full, it was clearly an added motivation. As a Belgian, and a motorsport fan, I am happy with what we have achieved today. I must say that I am so proud to be Belgian, it is truly a special event for me to be here, to share this passion with all the fans present here and the people without whom this race could not take place. »
