The last practice session of the Belgian GP weekend is now over & thankfully there were no crashes this time around. However, there were more penalties given out. Romain Grosjean now has a 5-Place-Grid-Penalty for an unscheduled Gearbox change and Max Verstappen is set to get a 10-Place-Grid-Penalty for an Engine change.
Mercedes continued to prove their pace, ending the session with another 1-2, however this time around it was Hamilton who took the #1 spot on the time sheets. Force India is also looking good this weekend, with both drivers finishing the session in the top 10.
Alonso was unable to set any times due to more issues with his McLaren. The team had to replace the exhaust due to a gas leak of sorts & he was forced to sit out the whole session apart from 1 lap.
There was also a slight track modification. The new kerb at the top of Eau Rouge was removed due to driver complaints and concerns. Here are the times from the session.
