The statements made for public consumption by the team and others is that the tyres were a problem (they couldn't make them reach optimal temperature) and it will not affect other tracks.
I've also seen it said that they couldn't generate enough downforce for Spa, which needs a lot, but another site says they were a lot slower on the straights than last year but quicker through the corners, which they say is down to the reduced engine performance.
And I think a couple of bad strategy decisions were costly - having to two-stop LeClerc because of starting on the soft tyre didn't work out.
