With a lot of uncertainty around owing to the weather conditions at Spa-Francorchamps, one thing is certain ahead of the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen cannot be on pole position.
The World Champion is set for a gearbox penalty, meaning he can start no higher than sixth even if he wins Qualifying.
That therefore creates an opening for someone to snatch pole for Sunday's Grand Prix, but who will take their chance?
As this is a Sprint weekend at Spa, Qualifying is taking place on Friday afternoon after just a single practice session.
