Belgian GP 2026: Gasly warning, Ocon milestone

Formula1.com reported Pierre Gasly sees Racing Bulls as a threat to Alpine in Belgium, while Esteban Ocon reaches 10 years since his F1 debut at Spa.

Formula1.com reported before the Belgian Grand Prix that Pierre Gasly sees Racing Bulls as a threat to Alpine in Belgium and in the constructors' championship fight. Gasly arrived at Spa ninth in the drivers' championship on 42 points, with one win and six podiums from 187 Formula 1 entries.

The outlet also reported that Esteban Ocon will mark 10 years since his Formula 1 debut at this weekend's race. Ocon went into Spa 17th in the standings on three points, and his record stood at 189 starts with one win and four podiums.

Both items were part of the pre-weekend build-up rather than any on-track outcome. For Alpine, the reported pressure from Racing Bulls sits alongside a personal landmark for Ocon as the Spa weekend begins.
