The intense championship battle between McLaren teammates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, just eight points apart, is a major focus, with 33 crucial points available. The crew debates whose driving style suits Spa best, the potential of Ferrari's rear suspension upgrade, and whether Mercedes can repeat last year's victory.
