The appointment with the Belgian Grand Prix not only marks the end of the summer break in Formula 1, but brings back good memories at home Williams, architect in Spa-Francorchamps of the highest point reached in the last four years. On this circuit, in fact, last season George Russell was the protagonist of a memorable qualifying, closed in second position. The day after, on the occasion of the race, the rain did not allow the drivers to carry out the event in total safety, so that the race, which lasted only a few laps and all behind the Safety Car, ‘gave’ the Grove team thelast podium of its history, always in 2nd place.
One year after that controversial episode, Williams is now returning to Belgium on a circuit full of changes, but always fascinating for all the riders, including Alex Albon and Nicholas Latifi. For the Anglo-Thai, the only one of the team to have won world championship points in this championship, Spa is one of the most popular tracks of all, as well as one of the most ‘open’ to opportunities favored by bad weather: “It’s nice to be back racing after a necessary break – has explained – Spa is one of my favorite tracks of the year, it’s a great place to race and have fun on a ride. Furthermore, can always reserve surprises with the weatheras we saw last year! “
A track also appreciated by your team mate Latifiunique among the full-time drivers still looking for points and equally determined to want to stay in F1 also in the next seasons: “I am thrilled to be racing again – added the Canadian – the summer break was very pleasant and allowed me to switch off, relax and recharge. I feel invigorated in view of the second part of the season. It’s always nice to go to Spa after the summer break, because it’s one of the funniest circuits on the calendar. It has a fast, flowing nature with an old school vibe, then it will be nice to drive this modern generation of cars. We hope to be able to maximize the opportunities to obtain an important result, where time can also play an important role, as often happens ”.
