Norris surpassed Piastri, but fears the forecast for the Belgian Grand Prix

What was to be, in the end was. After falling to Piastri and Max Verstappen in the Sprint qualifying session, Norris set his sights on the qualifying for the Grand Prix, and it paid off.

Speaking after the session Norris said: "It was a decent lap, so, happy." After the Sprint qualifying the general mood was that the Briton did not have the edge on his teammate.

The MCL39 has been the class of the field, and it was yet again at Spa, which makes the battle between him and teammate Piastri all the more difficult.

The forecast for tomorrow is that of a wet race, something Norris would rather avoid if possible.

"I'd prefer it to stay dry to be honest - it would be nice to have a dry Sunday to be honest," he concluded.
