## Resource

Kimi Antonelli is shaping up as Belgium’s dark horse, dominating practice with blistering long-run pace that Mercedes is leveraging to build race confidence — while Red Bull’s tyre degradation woes could be their Achilles’ heel. Ferrari’s encouraging long-run data keeps them in the hunt, despite session inconsistencies, and Aston Martin’s lack of upgrades threatens their race weekend survival. Midfield’s tight race suggests a one-stop strategy, where tyre management could decide the outcome. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
