SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS (Belgium): Toto Wolff was blown away by Ferrari’s speed advantage over his Mercedes Formula One team on Saturday after Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel secured a front row lockout for Sunday’s Belgian Grand Prix.
Leclerc grabbed his third pole of the year with a lap that was seven-tenths of a second faster than the best from teammate Vettel, leaving Lewis Hamilton third ahead of fellow Mercedes man Valtteri Bottas. “It’s 1.3 seconds to Leclerc. We knew it would be difficult and probably third and fourth was what we expected as the optimum result,” said Mercedes head Wolff. – AFP
