Hope that damage to rear end didn't damage PU or gearbox. We've seen all too often a seemingly small tap cause damage.
It's fine. Seeing what happened to LeClerc in Monaco I'm sure they'll check everything to make sure. Plus I'm sure there's some little bits here and there that the team wants to change or optimize for tomorrow. So while that is happening they'll be checking both sides :wink:

The gearbox most likely was a friday unit anyways? So the only worry would be the engine but the impact really wasn't all that hard.

Max reflects on first day at Belgian GP: 'It all felt good'

Following Friday practice and qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix, Ziggo Sport’s Olav Mol caught up with Max Verstappen to discuss the opening day at the Spa-Francorchamps.

Did the crash in the closing stages of FP2 result in a lot of damage? “No, it’s not that bad. Luckily it was the old engine, a Friday gearbox and a floor we’re not going to use anyway. It’s never ideal but it doesn’t affect tomorrow so that’s good.”

You didn’t clock that many laps. Is that because of the damp track? “I was just waiting a bit for the conditions to improve, to avoid just lapping for the sake of it.”

Overall, the car looked good. “Yes, it actually felt good all day. From the first lap, the car had a good balance. It’s nice like that, instead of bumping into problems from the start.”

Nice new helmet! “Yes, it’s again a bit nicer than last year.”

How many engines have you got left? “Three, but only two that are alive and one broken one that has a crack in it. After qualifying in Hungary, when they took away the bodywork, they saw a leak which means we can’t salvage that engine.”

I hope those criticising Hamilton for celebrating his Silverstone victory aren't celebrating this pole position.... I mean Lando has been "hospitalised" by their definition of the phrase 🤦🏻‍♂️
Favourite driver: Lando Norris
Favourite team: McLaren

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

you jumped over this to cure your sore but take it easy. This crash was not due to Verstappen

Yeah, to add to that first comment from Christian Horner regarding qualifying was concern and well wishes for Lando.

If Max needs a new engine a rain race where he can overtake is the best track to get it.

It'd suck now when he's on pole though.

No way they are going to take it here, and certainly not in a rain race.

Actually it's the right situation to take it. More chances of getting on podium. He can easily dispatch a whole heap of cars with two long straights in a jiffy. There would be an opportunity to gamble on tyres by jumping to dry tyres early.
