Pierre Wache: 'Sprint Quali is always a difficult exercise'
Published on 25 July 2025 by Johan Peeters
Pierre Wache, technical director at Oracle Red Bull Racing, reflects after friday’s sprint qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix: "Sprint Quali is always a difficult exercise, in the sense that you don’t have so much practice beforehand, only FP1 and you change tyre during the session. Yuki was one tenth behind the cut off unfortunately and he did that on his second lap, making a mistake at T4 and without that he would have been in SQ3.”
“What is impressive is the delta to Pole for Max, which is positive. If we concentrate on our side, the package works well and as expected and now we need to see where we can extract the performance during the race. We changed the rear wing from FP1, to be a little bit complementary to the level of grip we have and we will see what happens on Sunday.”
