Ferrari factory driver Miguel Molina informed the press that qualifying holds less significance at Spa-Francorchamps compared to Imola due to the increased opportunities for overtaking during the race. In a discussion with selected media, Molina stated, “We have been diligently analyzing all the situations we encountered since Imola. However, the outcome was not as anticipated. I believe Saturday was the better of the two races for Ferrari thus far. It was our home race, and we secured a 1-2-3 qualifying result, which was the highlight of the Imola race.” Molina shares the #50 499P car with Antonio Fuoco and Nicklas Nielsen, with the 499P being the highest-placed Hypercar among the three in the championship. They currently hold fifth position with 25 points, trailing the #12 JOTA Porsche 963 crew by two points. Ferrari expects to carry their strong performance from Imola into Spa-Francorchamps, primarily due to the influential role of strategy in determining the winners of the Italian race. Additionally, the predicted warmer weather at Spa-Francorchamps, in contrast to last year, further enhances Ferrari’s prospects. Molina added, “We are aware that our car performs well on high-speed tracks. This was evident last year when we displayed a strong performance here. We must continue our progression and give our utmost effort, as we did in Imola. However, Spa and Le Mans may suit us even better due to the high-speed corners and the overall faster lap times.”
