Francorchamps, the Scuderia's team boss Fred Vasseur was left to praise the Italian outfit for the aggressive strategy that helped Lewis Hamilton recover from a disappointing starting position.

Lewis Hamilton sent a radio message to Ferrari at the Belgian Grand Prix that saved his race weekend. It was a weekend to forget for the seven-time world champion. Hamilton was knocked out of Q1 in both the Sprint and the Grand Prix, and called his qualifying performances “unacceptable” in an apology to the team.
