Lance ‘aims to build' on sixth in Belgian GP practice

With a damp start to the morning session, Lance started the session on Intermediate tyres before switching to the Medium Pirelli tyres when the track began to dry.

After 40 minutes of running, Lance was within the top 10 in P9 before changing to the Soft tyres.

The Canadian was able to move up to P7 after lapping in 1.46.649 before finishing the session in P11.

“It is great to be back at Spa. I love coming here because it is such a special track. We got through our programme today to complete a good number of laps and I was comfortable in the car. It has been a strong start for us, but the damp conditions out there show it could be quite unpredictable on Saturday and Sunday. The weather being a bit of an unknown is challenging, but that makes it more exciting for us drivers. I am looking forward to getting back in the car tomorrow and building on today’s work.”

FP3 for the Belgium Grand Prix will take place on Saturday August 28 from 11am BST.
