Lando Norris will aim to build off his spectacular win at the British Grand Prix as the circuit heads to Belgium this weekend.
The McLaren star claimed the victory over teammate Oscar Piastri and Sauber’s Nico Hulkenberg.
It was Norris’ first win at Silverstone, and the gap between himself and Piastri at the top of the Drivers’ Championship has been narrowed to nine points.
Norris has now secured pole position for the Grand Prix on Sunday, after Max Verstappen won the sprint race.
Last year, Lewis Hamilton claimed his final win for Mercedes at this circuit, and he is still waiting to taste that first victory in a Ferrari.
The British legend has yet to get on the podium, but he has recorded back-to-back fourth-place finishes, suggesting he and Ferrari are improving.
However, he was knocked out in SQ1 on Friday and finished 15th in the sprint race, before only managing to claim 16th on the grid.
Behind Norris on pole is his teammate Piastri and Charles Leclerc follows, as Verstappen completes the front four.

Red Bull will compete in their first race since Christian Horner was sacked as team principle in Belgium.
Laurent Mekies has stepped up to replace Horner, and all eyes will be on how they do.
McLaren’s CEO Zak Brown wasn’t surprised to see Horner sacked by Red Bull after power struggles at the company for the last few years.
He said: “I’m maybe [surprised by] the timing, but not the result.
“I think there’s been a lot of drama there the last couple of years, and it doesn’t seem like that drama has been calming down – maybe been getting worse.
“So, I’m not surprised, anytime in the middle of the season. But we’re head down on our championship. They’ve got Max [Verstappen] still knocking on the door, so we’ve got to pay attention to that. But, yeah, tremendous amount of success they’ve had.”
But Brown can predict a return to motor racing for Horner.
“Given his age and his history in motor racing, I’d be surprised if he didn’t show up somewhere in motor racing.
“But I don’t know his other interests, whether he wants to go run a football team or what have you. So, we’ll see.”
Horner’s time at Red Bull was nothing but a success even if it was controversialBut Verstappen is looking forward to working with Mekies and can’t wait to get out on track.
He said: “I was back at the factory last week to spend some time in the sim with the team.
“I’m looking forward to working closely with Laurent.
“Spa is a classic and always my favourite track on the calendar.
“[It’s] a very old school circuit where you have to do everything right to get a good lap.
“I enjoy the high-speed corners such as Eau Rouge, the layout which is different to other circuits and elevation changes that make the track more of a challenge to drive.”
