'Gives me hope' - Lewis Hamilton optimistic despite Mercedes struggles at Belgian GP practice sessions
Lewis Hamilton was not giving up at the Belgian Grand Prix despite a poor showing in practice on Friday. In the second session, Hamilton was sixth fastest in his 300th race weekend, which might give him a chance at a podium given Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen — both quicker than him — start with grid penalties on Sunday. Ad However, the team were still well off the pace, and Hamilton had no answer.
