Third training session in the “cold” spa – Red Bull duo in front
Both Alfa-Sauber crashed with new engines
On Friday the rain, on Saturday the cold (15 degrees) and on Sunday the sun is waiting! The Wetterhölle Spa lives up to its name. And right in the middle 20 drivers trying to tune their cars. Fastest in practice 3: Pérez ahead of Verstappen (both Red Bull).
1/7
Historical: Alfa-Sauber driver Zhou is in the lead for a long time in practice three – ahead of team-mate Bottas!

After the mixed Friday, the Alfa-Sauber fans could rub their eyes for over 22 minutes. On the time computer, Zhou and Bottas’ names appeared at the top. The explanation: new engines! In the end they crashed: 15th Bottas, 19th Zhou (before bottom Schumi).
Ninth exhaust for Leclerc
Both pilots from Hinwil will be among the seven drivers in qualifying from 4 p.m. (TV live) who will illegally change their engines, exhaust pipes and gearboxes. And, of course, receive starting place penalties for doing so. So that affects Zhou, Bottas and Verstappen, Leclerc (ninth exhaust, eight are allowed per year), Ocon, Schumi and Norris.
Interesting that both Ferraris from Sainz and Leclerc only climbed into the cockpit halfway through the 60-minute practice session and immediately took the lead. Before Magnussen, Zhou and Bottas. Then the “show” really started…
Verstappen last row!
And on his first flying lap, world champion Max Verstappen jumped forward. On Friday, the Dutchman decided practice with a lead of 0.8 seconds over Leclerc (Ferrari). That’s a trip around the world in Formula 1.
But Verstappen can also set the fastest time in qualifying – he has to start from the back. How Leclerc, who lost control of the Ferrari in the twelfth corner nine minutes before the end, raced through the gravel bed, hit the tire wall and got back on the track himself. The race director had hastily pressed the red button: interruption.
7 “victims” – Bottas at an advantage?
In short: putting together the right starting grid for the 14th World Championship round on Sunday at 3 p.m. (TV live) will be a tricky task for the FIA. At Alfa-Sauber you have already done some calculations. Valtteri Bottas (32) should get away best of the seven “victims” and start 14th.
Incidentally, the Finn indirectly confirmed the Sauber-Audi deal from 2026. “I hope that I will still be driving in Formula 1 then. Such a new adventure would appeal to me!”
100th GP of Pierre Gasly
For Frenchman Pierre Gasly (24), Spa on Sunday will be the 100th World Championship race. The Alpha Tauri Honda driver (also with Red Bull for some races) had won his only race so far in Monza in 2020. In addition to his contract, a move to Alpine would also fail due to the anti-friendship with his compatriot Esteban Ocon!
