Spa-Francorchamps is about seven kilometers long and is known for its technical challenge, speed, and unpredictability. Mariana also highlighted the emotional impact of the track on the competitors. “This is a track that demands a lot from the drivers emotionally as well, not just technically. The guy needs a lot of courage and tests his skill and limits there,” she said.

The journalist expects another eventful race in Belgium. “At Spa, the driver will hardly drive less than he can. He will either drive what he can or go beyond, but less he won’t. That’s why I expect, as almost always, a crazy race. I love Spa, there’s a lot of history there,” she added.
Andrea Kimi Antonelli arrives at the round leading the championship, with 179 points and five wins. George Russell is 25 points behind, while Lewis Hamilton has a 32-point deficit to the leader. Gabriel Bortoleto tries to maintain his good form after achieving his best result of the season, eighth place at the British GP.
