Aston Martin came up with new evidence showing why there was less fuel in their tank than expected, but the team’s right to review was denied and Szafnauer eventually decided to withdraw the appeal.
To make matters worse, Alpine scored 37 points in the last race before the break of the season thanks to Esteban Ocon’s surprise victory in Budapest, combined with fourth place for team-mate Fernando Alonso, and catapulted it to fifth place.
While Vettel is chasing a good result, Stroll has scored points in his last two races at Spa and is hoping for another good result in his mother’s home country.
He said: “It was nice to take a break and return to the second half of the year with maximum concentration and determination.
“Because of my Belgian origins, Spa is always a kind of home race for me. It’s one of my favorite Grand Prix of the year, anything can happen in Spa.”
