## Resource

Max Verstappen stormed through practice at the Belgian Grand Prix, topping session one and finishing third in session two—despite a gear-shift hiccup that briefly halted his run. He praised Red Bull’s current car setup for its strong balance and said they’re fine-tuning for more speed. The team’s switch to an older, safer rear wing—due to reliability issues with a newer version—was a strategic move, with engineers working to fix the new wing while focusing on car balance and tire management. Verstappen admits they still trail rivals but remains confident they can close the gap before qualifying. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
