Formula 1 was not leaving Europe any time soon because the next round of the season, the eighth round, was set to be hosted by Hungary. And after the Hungarian Grand Prix would come the graceful British Grand Prix.
The Belgian Grand Prix did not unfold satisfactorily for Jackson Racing, much like how Australia did. But Australia was undoubtedly worse, since the team managed to attain greater points in Belgium thanks to Rodnick's finish in P4.
Belgium GP: 12 points—2x greater than Australia's—and just enough to barely keep them at the top of the standings for another round.
True. Even with all the stunts Rodnick pulled off on Spae-Ferenchal, he ended up in P4 by the time all 44 laps were over. And since he did not make the podium again, his vexation had evolved largely.
Rodnick was extremely focused in the pre-Hungary drills and wouldn't even speak or communicate unless it was to say something of importance regarding his driving or the car through the radio.
