Red Bull are particularly eager to recapture the dominant form they displayed at the beginning of the season and extend their grip on both championships.

Following three winless rounds for Max Verstappen, the Milton Keynes squad are looking to make a strong statement at Spa-Francorchamps - a track that suits their machines more than recent circuits. The Dutchman has already shown some pace in the first practice run, topping the timesheets with 1:43.372sec.

However, Verstappen has been hit with a 10-place grid penalty for Sunday's race, having exceeded his engine allowance for the season.

On top of this, both Mercedes and McLaren are breathing down their neck after victories in the last three outings, and they will be determined to continue chipping away at the current gap in the standings.
