Belgian Grand Prix practice - radio & text
Update: Date: 11:21 BST Title: Coming up Content: There's just the one practice session this weekend because the Belgian Grand Prix features a sprint race. Here's today's key timings (all BST): Practice session: 11:30-12:30 (BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 2, BBC Sounds and smart speakers) Sprint qualifying: 15:30-16:14 (BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 2, BBC Sounds and smart speakers) Update: Date: 11:18 BST Title: Norris feeling 'more of a threat' Content: Andrew BensonBBC F1 correspondent at Spa-Francorchamps Lando Norris says he feels 'more of a threat' to McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri after progress made in his understanding and feel for the car in recent races. Norris comes to the Belgian Grand Prix on the back of consecutive victories in Austria and Britain, albeit he inherited the Silverstone win after Piastri was penalised for driving ing dangerously behind the safety car. 'Do I feel more of a threat now? Yes,' Norris said. 'But am I happy enough still with where I'm at, where the car is and my harmony with the car? It's still not to the level that I want.' A new part in the front suspension of the McLaren - which was introduced to help Norris feel the front tyres more, but which Piastri does not feel he needs and is not using - has helped Norris, but he has also worked on his driving with the team behind the scenes. Yet he says he still does not feel quite back to the the level he was at last year, when he was consistently the fastest McLaren driver. 'I certainly feel happier. Austria was a place I felt the happiest, even happier than I was in Silverstone. With the car, with the knowledge of where I can push, how I can push and all those things. 'We're still trying to work on things to give me more from the car in order to allow me to unlock that more often, like I was doing last season,' said Norris. 'The most positive thing from those two weekends was just that the pace was better from the off and I was more comfortable with the car and in understanding how to get the most pace from it. At times that brings more of a smile to my face than just winning the race itself. Because it's progress, it's seen progress and that's always a very good thing, it's a very rewarding thing.' Update: Date: 11:15 BST Title: Title battle heating up Content: Things are heating up in the title race as we move into the second half of the seaosn. After winning the past two grands prix, Lando Norris has narrowed the gap in the drivers' championship to his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri to eight points. Will Norris complete a hat-trick of race wins at the Belgium Grand Prix this weekend?
